Interviewed Jan 2012 in Union City, NJ (took 2 weeks)
The 1st 2 interviews were with the district managers at a store location. One interview was a sit down, and the other was a store walkthrough. Both interviews were very straight forward and they ask many questions about your current job. A 3rd interview was help at the home office of the area.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took a day)
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 Aug 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Process was very very lengthy...as mentioned by previous posters they ask you NUMEROUS times to come clean on any past crimes committed or stuff that would show up on a background check...scare tactics as well, telling you how difficult the job is and how hectic the work pace is, they do give you an opportunity to talk to curretn employees but they are often times to busy, the one exception was before the store opened at one interview, she was very open and honest...had 4 interviews and a cattle call open house where you just filled out an application...have heard from others that there is absolutely no work/life balance at aldi and they want to make you clear of that during the interview process..

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4 days)
There was 4 face to face interviews. A federal background check and a drug test were required. A resume was not, as they never looked at my resume. An application was the only information requested from me.

Interviewed May 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 5 days)
I applied online through career builder, received an email just a couple days later. I was able to schedule an initial 1 on 1 interview with the district manager a few days after that. He had me fill out an application and then he proceeded to ask me a few general background questions, then the basic "why ALDI" and questions like that. Was informed I'd receive a call back the following Monday if they were interested in another interview.
District manager explained the position, the hours, pay, etc, and then explained the hiring process. Overall, no complaints about the process.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Lyndhurst, OH (took a day)
The typical way a hiring works is that an advertisement is placed in the Sunday local newspaper, giving a specific date, time, and location in which applications will be taken. Following directions is an important part of the job; going to the wrong location or showing up at the wrong time will prevent applicants of a chance of getting the position. Usually there are hundreds of applicants for each position. The District Manager will hand out applications, and ask if you have read the job description and can complete the job tasks. No resumes are accepted, but it is best to bring one to aid in completing the application. Also, bring your reference information. If you are selected for an interview, you will meet with the District Manager. You will be asked a series of questions about your employment history, and will be watched before, during and after the interview to see if you will be a good fit. Slouching, not smiling, and lack of energy are not good. Talkative, energetic people get the job. You will also be asked questions that start with "What would you do if..." ("you saw an employee stealing," "an employee refused to do something you asked them to do."). They are looking for honesty, customer service and management skills, and energy level. At the first interview, you will also be told of the job requirements, pay rate, and benefits. They will be looking to see whether you really want the job. If the first interview goes well, a second interview is held with the Director of Operations. This interview is much the same as the first. Some questions about your background, and easy questions about what you would do in certain situations. Again, they are looking for honesty, customer service and management skills, and energy level. Usually the job offer is made over the phone if the interviews go well. There is no negotiation about pay, benefits, or responsibilities.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 3 weeks)
There are 2 levels of interviews -- interviewing with 2 people (one of which was a district manager), interviewing again with an additional person, and then a final interview with the regional manager. You are notified whether you make it to the next level via a phone call within a week of each interview. After the last interview, you need to pass the drug test.
