Rent-A-Center Store Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I went to the store I applied to and was greeted right away. The interviewer was very nice and the atmosphere was relaxed but professional. They asked some usual questions and then a few that weren't as typical. They gave me time to think about my answers, which was nice, so I didn't feel pressured. It was a really good experience.

When filling positions like customer-focused associates, who sell and help clients, Rent-A-Center, which leases household appliances, furniture, and electronics, often looks for them. Applicants can find job postings on the company website and submit their applications online. Hiring staff usually calls back applicants within a day or two after reviewing their applications to set up interviews. Rent-A-Center job interviews, which usually happen at the store, may involve several question-and-answer sessions with store and assistant managers, along with computer-based skills tests. Candidates who seem like a good fit usually take a drug test and a criminal background check as the last step before starting work, after these results come back clear.

I first connected with Rent A Center at a local job fair. I chose to focus on them because I figured they were more recession-proof than many retail companies. I had a really informal chat with the HR rep and a district manager there. The District Manager gave me his card and told me to call him to schedule an interview. I left him a message. The next day, another district manager called me to set up a one-on-one. We had the interview a few days later. It was really straightforward. He read a lot of questions from a list of sample questions. Very typical questions. He called me the next day and offered me the job, but the pay was low. I declined because of the pay, and he increased his offer.
