The Connor Group Sales Associate Interview Questions
& Process

I went through 3 rounds of interviews for the Sales Associate position. The initial interviews felt more like conversations where I could ask my own questions. Later, there was a 30-minute call where I had to answer all their questions. After completing the 3 rounds, I never heard back from them. Curiously, a recruiter reached out to me twice on LinkedIn for the same role I had already interviewed for. I politely informed her about my experience of being ghosted during the interview process. She saw my message but didn't respond. While I enjoyed the people I interviewed with and found the process friendly and not stressful, I received no communication from the company for weeks after finishing the interviews.

A recruiter hit me up on LinkedIn, and we did a quick 10-minute phone screen. I mentioned I wasn't keen on working weekends, and they hit me back with the classic sales line, 'How much money would it take for you to work weekends?' I decided to continue just for the practice. Next up was a 25-minute 'rapid fire' interview. It felt super robotic and like a total waste of time, making me feel like just a number. They were clearly just reading questions that got filtered by software and scored numerically. An online assessment or a pre-recorded video would have been better since it wasn't a real conversation and I couldn't ask questions. They asked multiple times if I thought using fear/intimidation or lying to close a sale was okay. I kept saying no and suggested better ways, but I didn't get an offer. This makes me think they want aggressive closers, not people focused on customer service, even though they say they're hiring for the food & beverage industry, not sales pros. I didn't get feedback, so I don't know for sure why I didn't get an offer. They also straight-up asked if I care more about work or family, which implies they expect to be your top priority, which is unrealistic. Plus, they don't offer parental leave, which is pretty lame for a company that boasts about its revenue and being a great place to work. The Conner Group is seeking cult members, not employees.

This would be a great company to work for. I very much enjoy sales, however I don’t have a passion for apartment leasing and sales. I love the culture of this place and it was very hard to say no. I just knew my heart wouldn’t be in it. The interview process is lengthy, but worth it. If you are an extremely hard worker, enjoy real estate/apartment leasing and sales this would be a great job for you. My recruiter, Rita was extremely encouraging and helpful throughout the entire process. She is the main reason I kept going with the interview process. I did the day in the field, and realized this job wasn’t for me. The ladies were all very nice and worked very hard.
