First, we had a phone screen with some general questions. Then, there was a meeting with the District Manager which included behavior-based questions, questions about my experience, and a store walkthrough. After that, I got a conditional offer pending a background check.

Behavioral Technical

I had an HR interview first, then a technical interview with a panel of two people. It seemed to go well, and they said the HR would get back to me quickly about the next steps. Almost two weeks later, I got a generic email saying they were moving forward with other candidates who were a closer fit for the role. I missed out on two internship opportunities because I was optimistic about this one.

Saw the offer on a website and applied online on their website. Got an email from the District Manager two days later and we set up an in person interview. After the first interview I had a phone interview with another Store Manager a week later. Another week went by and i was offered a sales lead position. Pretty simple interview but the process did take awhile.
