First I took a 27 page personality assesement that was insightful, but not totally accurate. I think I passed and then had a phone interview. The interviewer felt robotic and I didn't think she would be a good rep for the sales department. I gave long sales answers but she wanted short, perfect answers. If you want to work here, give HR your perfect canned answer in the phone interview.

It's a tough process to get an offer at Cottingham & Butler. You'll go through personality and IQ tests, a phone interview, and a sales benefit dinner which is a social test. Then there's a first round interview and a second round that lasts over 4 hours with top company folks.

It was a very professional organization. I was blown away by the growth and ability to earn great money. I would recommend this organization to anyone looking for a great future in the Dubuque area. I interviewed all over, but nothing compares to C&B.
