Interview
Applied online, was contacted by the office manager and had a brief and basic phone interview. The in-person interview a couple weeks later was very standard. Most of the employees being hired were fresh out of college, and there were no technical questions, only questions of work ethic and personality. Most of the stuff they were looking for is: can you show up on time, present well, and bring all of the required materials to the interview. Was offered the job a couple weeks later with no room for negotiation and had two business days to accept/decline. The salary is posted online along with a lot of their career information, so pretty standard stuff.

Background Check
Interview
Applied through my school's career site, which I think only required a resume. A few weeks later they called me to set up a phone interview, which was pretty easy- mostly going over/elaborating on the resume.
The in-person interview came a week or two later, and was an easy behavioral interview, which went longer than expected because of the questions I asked.
Then a week later I was called back for a second round, which was more about the company, the role and the training program. Later that week I got the written offer and started shortly thereafter.

Interview
Received a call from HR acknowledging that I was a prime candidate for the position and she asked me a couple of questions regarding my schooling and briefly over my resume (few minutes). She was very nice and prompt about everything and then scheduled a phone interview with her. Phone interview was very brief and basically went over the resume and some behavioral questions. Since I was out of state (currently residing in New York at the time and the position was in LA), she wanted to set up a skype interview.

On the day of the skype interview, the system wasn't set up properly so the skype interview could not be conducted. As a result, she rescheduled a second interview with a branch manager while she was listening in. It was a 2-on-1 phone interview and the interview went over an hour with me answering their laundry list of questions that was prepared by the company. Interview went well and then followed up with a pre-employment questionnaire that I had to fill out (it was tedious and EVERY bit of information had to be filled). I learned the hard way, after leaving the salary requirement bit and some other bits out and had to re-do the entire document that I had scanned over. They wanted an in person interview in California, and I happened to be on my way back to California in a couple of weeks, but I became sick and ended up changing plans. Never heard from them again.
