I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Webberville, MI) in May 2013
Interview
I applied online by submitting a résumé and a cover letter. I received an email not too long after inviting me to a hiring fair at their regional headquarters a few weeks later. The email said I would have an opportunity for a mini interview and to learn more about the position. I get to the fair and the first step is to go in the conference room and complete a paper application. Afterwards the director of operations comes in and asks us to sit in order of who completed their applications and someone will come and get us. When it was my turn, we stepped three steps outside of the conference room and sat down I'm the main lobby. Mind you the door to the conference room is open and everyone can see us. We sit down and he says he is going to ask me a few questions and he will have time to answer 1 or 2 of my questions. All of his questions were basic screening questions i.e. can you work nights or weekends, do you have a bachelor's degree. It literally took 5 minutes. I get an email 3 days later saying I was not selected to continue with the process. The frustrating part is that their regional headquarters is 70 mikes away from my home. It would not have been an issue if the process was more detailed but to be there for 10 minutes and for them to do something that could have been done over the phone made it worthless.
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at ALDI (Kansas City, KS) in Apr 2026
Interview
First round interview was s video interview with each question having a prerecorded question, then 30 seconds of prep time to answer the question with about 2 minutes of time. You sit at a device of your choosing and stare at yourself the entire time.
Communications started with 3rd party recruiter. Behavioral interview, asked about experience, leadership, communication abilities, weaknesses you have. Moved on to next round. In-person interview following this with Aldi executive. Similar format to initial interview, mainly behavioral, noticed a complete lack of organization.
Every question in 2nd round was a follow-up to the previous question. Having interviewed for many roles across many industries over the years, this interview was an interrogation, not a conversation. Experience led me to believe that Aldi, or this specific interviewer, struggles to see candidates for the District Manager role beyond 'assets'. Makes you wonder if corporate Aldi has a similar effect on other peoples souls. See for yourself!
