The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Rent-A-Center (Baltimore, MD) in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview process was talk with a recruiter on the phone, meet with a District Manager, do an observation day and then tell them you want the job. The interview was kind of a joke because you do not know what job you were hired for until the day you start. Also, make sure you realize that their training consists of absolutely nothing but working in the warehouse fixing furniture, cleaning the managers store and then going out by yourself to do customer warranty service calls. The first few days you will watch a few videos, but nothing really related to actually helping you do your job.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rent-A-Center (Espanola, NM) in Jul 2010
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter via email in which I applied online at rent-a-center and informed the recruiter that I had applied. They then contacted me and conducted a brief phone interview that consisted of some personality questions and asked if there would be any conflicts with schedules. I was contacted a few days later and scheduled for an in store interview. The interview was one on one with a manager from another store. He asked me about my background and if I was comfortable with making collections. I was then given a personality test and math/IQ test which I passed. I was told he would contact me the next day whether I was chosen or not. He didn't. Oh well, the job probably wasn't for me and I probably didn't receive an offer since I am not bilingual.

Interview
This interview was a bait-and-switch. I applied for an Assistant Manager's position and was called for an interview only to be told that it wasn't a management position but a delivery job. The interview was around 10 minutes because the District Manager (who set up the interview) didn't even show up and I spoke to the Store Manager instead.
