I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Arnold, MO) in Aug 2012
Interview
After bringing my application into the store, it took about two weeks to receive contact. The District Manager set up a VERY brief interview. She called back 4 days later and scheduled a second interview with the store manager. Then we proceeded to have the drug screen and background check. Waiting the five days for those to come back and they called and set up orientation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I don't feel any of the questions were difficult. It was pretty standard. Where do you see yourself in five years? What are your strengths, weaknesses? Who do you know that works for Aldi? (they love references)
Group interview, 7am. Took a brief tour of the store, manager asked questions throughout. Speak up and answer questions during the tour. Then pulled into offices separately for 10-15 minute interviews.
Not difficult at all. There is a two step interview process where the first one you meet with the manager and the second you meet with the general district manager.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Georgetown, TX) in Nov 2025
Interview
Management completely disorganized didn't know they set up "group" interviews. It wasn't group it was a 1 on 1 ...2 minute conversation. Recieved a denial email wow you made a decision after 2 minutes. This company is a joke
