The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ALDI in Jul 2011
Interview
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.

more like a cattlecall, showed up for scheduled interview with 20-25 others, 20 minute interview does not allow enough time for true candidate interview, received thanks but no thanks email within a day

They want you to stand in front of a mirror so that they can evaluate you before the interview. Then you are asked a series of questions about what you think the position is by the district manager. Afterwards a store manager takes you around the store and is especially interested in your reaction to being in the freezer.
