I applied online and got contacted pretty quickly. The office is in an industrial part of Brooklyn. They have a parking lot, but it's tiny and usually full, so plan to arrive early and look for street parking. After getting inside, I had to wait a bit for the first interviewer. She was nice and seemed fair. After that, I met with a sales manager, which was a very different experience. He seemed more focused on highlighting the downsides of the job and expressed indifference towards the sales reps. He talked for about an hour and a half, using inappropriate jokes and swearing, and seemed quite pleased with himself. On the plus side, you'll know exactly what you're getting into, but it also means you'll be pretty much on your own.

So I had an interview with the HR manager and the company director, and honestly, I was super excited to start working with them. They seemed like great people and I thought it would be a great environment. But then I met with the area managers, and one of them was acting like he was drunk, and the other one seemed really sick. They were really rude, condescending, and didn't seem to realize they were representing the company. I left feeling pretty bad about the whole experience.

I talked to 4 different people over 2 days. First, I had a call with the recruiter. She checked my resume and my personality. Then, I spoke with 3 of the sales executives. They asked me about the craft beer industry, why I want the job, and why I'd be a good fit. They asked quick questions to see if I could think on my feet and if I have good people skills for dealing with tough clients. Oh, and they really want to hear that they're the largest craft beer distributor in NY.
