Interviewed May 2012 in Miami, FL (took 1 week)
I was told I had an interview with the manager a few days after I'd walked in to ask. It's a tiny boutique, by the way.
The interview was casual and informal, held during her shift away from the floor.
At the end of the interview she also mentioned that because it's a small store she needs a cashier that will oversee the floor when she's away, so she needs who is kinda like a manager.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 days)
Walked in and asked for an application. The store manager scheduled the interview on the spot. It was extremely easy, just myself and the manager. She asked me why I wanted to work at Aldo, and if I could spot any current fashion/footwear trends. She also asked me a bit about my past jobs, but nothing that was difficult for me to answer. It lasted about 7 minutes. The next day I received a phone call with a job offer.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took a day)
It was my first job I'd applied for at 16 years old. I was so nervous, but it was the easiest thing I've ever done. I walked in, asked for the manager, and she took me to a cafe in the mall and started the interview. She asked me what I knew about Aldo and then proceeded to tell me it's history and how the company works. She told me all about the sales goals, her management style, and how her specific store operates. She asked me if I had any questions. I asked her one question and afterwards she told me that I'd start the week after...
Throughout the whole process she only asked me one question and talked the rest of the time... And then afterwards gave me the job! I know for a fact that this type of interview is extremely rare, but I got lucky! From what I've seen, though, this type of thing is consistent throughout Aldo, due to their young and inexperienced management.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
Handed in my CV, it was very well received. Helpful staff. Call received a day later than promised, but interview offered. The interview process was very informal, casual and quick. Almost seemed unprofessional. Staff were very friendly and welcoming though.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Washington, DC (took 3 days)
It was fairly simple, met with the DM and Regional Manager and was asked the usual interview questions. 1. Where I saw myself in the company within a year? 2. Previous salary? 3. How I would contribute to the growth of the company? Those were the main three were we focused the most in.

Negotiation Details
They are really cheap. Never accept the first offer you are given, the company will you if they think you will them results. Fight for your salary and don't accept the first offer they are always going to lowball you.

I have accepted the position and they are STILL waiting for head office to get back to them about how much they can offer me! I guess in this economy they can do that.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 4 days)
Received phone call from store manager, met with her, then met with the DM. Both provided me with a great experience.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Started off with a 1:1 interview with the area manager. Here is where they ask you more questions about fashion and the "aldo brand" than about the actual job requirements. Make sure you are very fashion forward if you want to be considered for the position. Individuals who lack in the styling department will be considered a NO!
After the interview I then went on to a phone interview with the district manager. She asked more management experience questions and if you did not have a very direct answer she make it seem like you did something wrong and you are not good enough to work for the company. (This is not all district managers, just the particular one that interviewed me)
I was then presented an offer by the area manager which included all salary information, bonuses, 401k, health benefits, ect.
I was allowed to consider the offer and get back to them no later than 6:00pm the same day in which I received the offer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
I went into the store and asked for an application. The manager told me that there was a group interview the next day. I went to the group interview and there were about 10 people there. Most of them had past experience and were answering all the questions. Interviewers took themselves too seriously.
