I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rent-A-Center (Cumberland, MD) in Dec 2012
Interview
Very quick and easy. I was asked where I saw myself in 5 years. Why I felt I would be good for the job. I was asked if I could lift up to 50 pounds on my own. I went to a second interview with the district manager and it consisted of the same information.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Rent-A-Center (Portland, OR) in May 2016
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.
