I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Chapel Hill, NC) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied through the on-campus recruiting center at UNC. I was invited to a pre-night dinner before the first interview the next day where they talked about the company, the job, compensation, etc. and opened up for questions. A week later, I was notified about a second interview at the HQ in Salisbury, NC and I had to complete an online personality-type test before the interview. The first half of the day consisted of a warehouse tour and an interview with the VP and a director of operations and then there was a lunch break and a store tour. After that, we got to go (plus they reimbursed for gas!). About a week later I heard about a third interview where I drove to a store in Greensboro and walked through a day in the life of a DM. At this point, they had already asked where I wanted to train for the job. I received a contingent offer about a week later and accepted the official offer week after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Being the boss, how would you handle being younger than your employees? Lots of leadership questions--they're looking for a strong personality type that isn't afraid to speak up!
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!

Interview
I was interviewing with the hiring manager, it was ok, but i didn't get selected at the end. Basically went through my background which and he mostly asked how much I got paid which is wired.
