ALDI Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Attended a hiring event and was contacted by a District Manager Intern within a few days. Just a quick phone interview. She was very polite, standard questions. Second interview was with a store manager. Showed me the daily operations of the store. Last interview was with district manager. Overall a great experience.

Interview Details – Long interview process, they ask multiple times in different ways if there is anything you want to tell them about your background check which is really weird. The process is about 3 weeks.

Interview Details – informal information dinner with 20+ candidates after a career fair, they tried to weed out the uninterested. First interview on campus and got a call back for a second. Picked 4-5 candidates to go to headquarters- drove us out. Three 20 minute interviews, store tour, factory tour, lunch. Heard back within a week

Interview Details – Was invited to interview for the position along with 7 other candidates--the process took most of the day (~8 hours) with a test of basic skills, interviews with multiple managers/important people at the office, and discussions of what would be expected of us should we pass their review. Unfortunately, it was made pretty clear that they had a preferred candidate already--it seemed as though he was treated with extreme preference.

Interview Details – I applied online by submitting a résumé and a cover letter. I received an email not too long after inviting me to a hiring fair at their regional headquarters a few weeks later. The email said I would have an opportunity for a mini interview and to learn more about the position. I get to the fair and the first step is to go in the conference room and complete a paper application. Afterwards the director of operations comes in and asks us to sit in order of who completed their applications and someone will come and get us. When it was my turn, we stepped three steps outside of the conference room and sat down I'm the main lobby. Mind you the door to the conference room is open and everyone can see us. We sit down and he says he is going to ask me a few questions and he will have time to answer 1 or 2 of my questions. All of his questions were basic screening questions i.e. can you work nights or weekends, do you have a bachelor's degree. It literally took 5 minutes. I get an email 3 days later saying I was not selected to continue with the process. The frustrating part is that their regional headquarters is 70 mikes away from my home. It would not have been an issue if the process was more detailed but to be there for 10 minutes and for them to do something that could have been done over the phone made it worthless.

Interview Details – Applied through school's job board. Was emailed that I had been selected for an interview. You then are required to attend a dinner event the night before interviews start. During the dinner they describe how Aldi is run and what you will do as an intern. They make it seem as if the internship is very beneficial and lure you in the very high pay. However, they don't tell you that this internship requires insane amounts of hours per week, therefore the pay isn't as great as you initially think. After speaking with students who have completed the internship, all have said that the internship is unbearable and that the hours you work are ridiculous.

The interview was quite unprofessional in my opinion. The interviewer asked about 5 questions and I was out of the interview in about 7 minutes. Not surprisingly, I was not offered a second interview. After walking out of the interview, it was quite clear that they had already determined who they were going to move on in the interview process with as they showed that had absolutely no interest in what I had to say.

Interview Details – They guided all applicants about their company through an information dinner then anyone who did go would have significant amount of information about the position and the company. Learn them well as they will be tested during the 1:1 interview later. The Vice president interviewed me and he wasn't very fond of the interview. Hardly any eye contact.

Interview Details – Was called in for an open interview day. That day I was toured around the store by a regional and a district manager, both high on their horse and about 25 years old, and quizzed upon my retail knowledge. I have been in retail for many years but some of the questions were tricky.

Interview Details – There is a mandatory information session the night before, ask questions and show that you are interested.

The first interview is just getting to know you. They want to know what you were involved at your school and they want to see if your personality is a fit. don't oversell yourself though
