Interview
First is a phone interview then if you pass a face to face interview is set up with a manager. Before you meet with the manager they give you a math test that is very hard. If the first manager likes you they have you interview with the other managers in the office. then you are given a personality test that takes around an hour. Then if they like the results you meet with the regional manager. Got the feeling they want you to beg to work for them. If you are not interested in the position you would not go through their interview process for a entry level sales job

After submitting my resume a recruiter reached out and set up an initial interview. After that, you interview with a manager. If things progress you might come in for a role play or shadow someone in the field.

I was called for an initial phone interview. Then I was invited to a virtual interview. After that I was asked to meet with the hiring manager. I found it very way and straight forward.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
Recruiter phone interview. Interview with manager. 2 hour shadowing taken out of my full time workday and then a sales presentation interview. Was told I would hear back at the end of day after the presentation and heard nothing. Super bad look on the manager and company. Glad I dodged a bullet with this management and company! Unless you want hours of time wasted, I would steer clear.
