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 Nov 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA (took 2 days)
I applied though my college career center. Interview consisted of a dinner and presentation to a group of probably 20 -30 followed by a 1 on 1 interview the next day. They never discussed how many positions were available. The interview was basic questions, tell me about your previous jobs and why you left. What are you looking for? If you caught an employee stealing $5 what would you do? Pretty straight forward questions. Perks to the job seem nice: nice salary, company car, etc, but you will have no life in the position or time off.

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.

Ask basic questions that you would expect when applying for a retail job.. "what would you do if you saw an employee stealing?" Not too many difficult questions. Make sure to ask questions about the position, as it seems that is a big factor in their decision making.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1+ week)
One on one behavioral interview first. Easy, straight-forward. Second interview involves visit to the office. Group Interview. Multiple one on one interview. Put on the spot for "hard" situations you might experience in the DM role. IQ test and Gas Money!

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
Went to a job fair and handed in my application. Received a call from the District Manager for a one-on-one interview. Right off the bat, the DM said they don't hire Manager Trainee's "right off the street." I find that contradicting as many DM's are hired straight from college. Apparently having office management experience and a degree isn't as valuable as a new grad with no experience at all. I'd be weary of working for Aldi. Judging from my interview and the reviews on this website, pursue with caution.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Working at half the wages of my previous position is financially ignorant. The economy is at an upturn. You no longer have to sell your soul to work at miniscule hourly wages.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Cranston, RI (took a day)
They had advertised a 'job fair', really it was a complete waste of time. I went there filled out an application and turned it in. I was aksed 3 questions, "Can I lift 45 pounds?" "Am I a high school graduate"? "Am I available 6am-11pm"?. They then said they'd call in 2-3 days if interested. Previous to this 'job fair' they had a sign posted saying they were hiring, but I waited to the job fair thinking that would be better. Apperently, it wouldn't have mattered when I applied. Really there was no point to this 'job fair'.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Nurnberg (Germany) (took a day)
Interview felt more like a chat with the GM. He asked a lot of questions concerning previous job experience and highly focused on questions concerning your personality. You gotta be a highly flexible person , work long hours and gotta have a hands on approach. Aldi loves practical people that can forecast control and direct effectively.
