The interview was pretty informal. Just discussing experience and then talking about the job. I did 2 interviews because they were changing district managers so my initial interview was lost.

Interview
I showed up a few minutes early and was asked to wait in the showroom. After waiting for 20 minutes (15min) after my scheduled time a young manager invited me into a small unorganized office. He then spent a few minutes looking for my resume while talking about the other horrible interviews he had already done.
There was a 5 minute question answer period where he asked questions then continued to talk before letting me answer. He would cut me off and say "I got it" then ask another question. Repeat.
At the end he said I passed the screening process and I'd have to come back to talk with the hiring manager.

Interview
Leasing household appliances, furniture, and electronics, Rent-A-Center frequently hires on customer-oriented associates to sell products and assist clients. Employment seekers often find job postings on the company website and submit hiring documents online. Recruitment staff generally contacts applicants within a day or two of reviewing employment requests to schedule interviews. Rent-A-Center job interviews, which are typically held onsite, may include multiple question-and-answer sessions with assistant and store managers as well as computerized skills tests. Promising candidates typically undergo drug testing and criminal background checks as the final step of the Rent-A-Center hiring process and begin work after satisfactory results arrive.
