Interviewed Apr 2012 in Roswell, GA (took a day)
This company is always hosting hiring events and I'm sure 100's of people show up and apply. The thing is they only have maybe 2 positions to fill(they don't tell you that). You read the job description, fill out an application, and they ask a few ?'s.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Nashville, TN (took 1 week)
First I went to the mass screening where you stand in line with more than 50 people and do a short interview with a manager. Two days later I recieved a call from my now manager and asked for a second interview. At this point they asked me to take a drug test. After about 5 days the manager contacted me and asked for a third interview. At this interview the GM of that Aldi's district asked me questions about my strength and if i was really ready to work. I agreed and he offered me the job on the spot.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
I went in to a career fair they had at the store. I filled out my application on the spot and turned it in to the District Manager who was there to collect a ton of applications. The next day I get a phone call to come in for an interview. I interview a few days later with the District Manager. After the interview he takes me to meet the store manager and I then walk around and chat with the store manager. A few days later the District Manager calls me to come back in for a follow up interview. There I complete my background information and go take a drug test. The results took about 2 weeks to come back. I start a week after the results came in.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
I was asked some questions I felt were sort of personal. I was already employed elsewhere at the time of this interview and had reliable transportation plus this location was only 15 minutes from my home, but he had a very big problem apparently with the fact that I didn't own a car (I'm applying at a grocery store - do I really need to explain this?) or a license (I had another valid form of ID). He asked me why I didn't have a license (because I don't have a car?) then why I didn't have a car and then if I was saving up for one all while looking at me as if I were irresponsible. He couldn't get his head around that. Very big problem with it.
He also asked why I didn't want to work full-time as if he was really only looking for full-timers. I clearly checked the box for part-time on my application and he called me in for an interview anyway. I told him (the interview kiss of death) that I was thinking of going to college in the near future. He tried to be neutral about that.
He also was very clear that I was applying for a job where I would basically be overworked...It was like they *knew* they were *overworking* people but didn't care and you needed to not care too. He told me the wage he could offer me then qualified that with "but you earn every penny of it." I really didn't like the way this was sounding. I'd been hired in jobs where I was worked hard (overnight truck unloading/stocking shifts) but was never told beforehand that it would be that way so I was forced to assume that this place just worked you to the bone. They told me there would only be 2 people working at any time in the store so you would be doing double duty a lot.
They play cop and ask if anything will show up in your background check or drug test then look at your eyes to see if you're lying. They will not ask you this once, they will ask you if you're *sure* they won't find anything and then look at you for a moment after you say they won't. Again.
It was not a good interview experience and knew I wouldn't take the job if offered it before I even left the parking lot.
I think they aim to try to weed people with a mind of their own out because their attitude in interview puts people with that sort of mind off wanting to work for them.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Springfield, MO (took a day)
I attended a job fair for ALDI stores. It was held at a hotel and approximately 100 people showed up before the doors opened. They herded everyone inside and allowed about 30 people at a time to fill out job applications. After completing an application you were given a short, immediate interview with a professionally dressed older man who did not give his name or title. He looked me up and down and seemed to like what he saw as I'm an attractive professional youngish female. He asked me a couple of questions and did not seem to listen to my responses, which was annoying, but looked at the front page of my application. He was smiling up until he saw that I had a college degree and then his whole face changed and he looked unhappy and annoyed. He said, "You graduated from (university)?" and I said, "yes" and he just looked so disapproving at that point; very annoying as my degree is general and I have no qualms about working for ALDI and the pay advertised was similar to several of my other jobs in the past. He did not flip over the application to see all of my grocery and retail experience; he just said "thanks, we will make a decision tonight for second interviews" and shook my hand like a dead fish, avoiding further eye contact at that point. I did not get a call and this was only the third so-called interview in my entire life that I did not get a job offer or callback. I may sound bitter but I truly felt it was a waste of time.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Orlando, FL (took a day)
There was a hiring event at a local hotel that I attended on August 4. There were paper applications on a table and tables and chairs for people to sit at and fill out the application. Once finished, I stood in line to talk to what I assume was a hiring manager. He asked basic questions that verified the information on the application. I was told that if I was successful, I would hear back from them in a week.

I went to the job fair, they made us re-fill an application, then just hand it to the two representatives at the stop. They just asked questions like what position are you applying for? what is your availabilities, do you have a high school diplomat? then he said we will give you call if we are interested. Did i mention i woke up at 5 am, WASTE OF TIME!

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Gainesville, GA (took a day)
I went and filled out an application at one of their many hiring events. I was told that there was only one position available and that there were around 500 applicants and only 15 interviews. I managed to get an interview, but I felt it was more like an interrogation like others have said. It was only a five or ten minute interview (which I had to drive an hour out of my way for) where he asked me why I wanted this job and what my previous work experience was. Then I was told that there would be a background check. I told him that was fine and he persisted on, asking me if they would find anything if they went a number of years back. I was then asked if I had done any drugs. After I told him no, he looked at me square in the eye and asked, "Are sure you have never done ANYTHING?" I already said no... I never got a call back, but I don't want to work for a place that treats me like a criminal anyway...
