VERY NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE W/ SEXIST STAFF IN MIDWEST:
The only reason I will not be returning for the next round is because I was told I would not fit in to their aggressive masculine culture but that they were sure I could continue to be a successful sales rep in a different environment (I am a woman with 3 years of sales experience). Throughout the interview I was compared to a female rep I did not have a chance to meet, and kept being reminded this is a good thing, and not to fell "pigeon-holed". Sounded like they had a token female and were wondering if another would work out.
My final interviewer (who was more of a stress interviewer - interrupted me a lot, put his hands on his face and made noises while I talked) told me I was in fact unlike their successful token female, because she had the potential to be both "greedy" and a "b*tch" and he did not believe I could get "down and dirty." Thanks but no thanks, a bunch of chauvinists.
