Behavioral Technical
I applied online and got a call back within a week. The manager did an on-the-spot phone interview. Then, I had an in-person interview a few days later with the manager and an assistant. They asked about my past jobs and why I'd be a good fit. Finally, the district manager called me for a 15-minute final phone interview at the exact time they said they would.

Behavioral
The interview process was very high tech, but when it came to human interaction, I would have preferred dealing with the computer than the people. They seemed very unprofessional. It seemed as if there was a script being used to coach the person doing the interview.
