      Inside Sales Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Wilton, CT
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Melissa & Doug (Wilton, CT) in Dec 2011

      Interview

      I applied on the Web site, and got a e-mail and phone call with in 4 days. The interview was with a HR head and a New Hire for HR. First I waited in the waiting for 10 mins. Next the interviewer spoke about the Company and what type of person they are looking to Hire. Second part was a role play. The HR lady never sold any thing in her life (she told me that) I don't understand how this company doesn't have a sales manager interview the new hire?? Good luck!

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Melissa & Doug (New York, NY) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      My first interview was over the phone including a sales test. Next was an interview at their office. It's a friendly atmosphere. You will be tested a couple of times. I did not get a job offer. But I felt good about the environment and they seemed to be very flexible about your work hours.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Melissa & Doug (Wilton, CT)

      Interview

      Long and laughable. You spend most of your time on a headset listening to calls. They place you with veterans calling toy stores. When you get the job you are not calling toy stores rather Hospital gift shops and campgrounds.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      New Haven, CT
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Melissa & Doug (New Haven, CT) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      3 Interviews, plus a brief one on the phone. Its all about role-play. over and over again, probably with 15 different people. When they don't have time for you they put you to listen to calls from veterans calling toy stores. The hole process took about 3 months. Ridiculous! You spend at least two/three hole days there. The last 10 minutes of the third interview you meet Melissa, if she don't like you, you don't get the job, regardless of what the other recruiters have told you or want. They promote themselves in a way that makes you want to go there, sounds fun right?. But its all BS, the HR department don't have a clue what their doing, seems like headless chickens running around. No structure at all. I worked in recruitment for many years and I was ashamed on their behalf for the lack of knowledge they were showing in every aspect of the process. As many before me have written here; do yourself a favor and stay away. And, no I did not get an offer.

      Question 1

      How would you sell this teddybear to a toy store? How can you make friends with the customer over the phone?
