Interview
I dropped my app + resume to several stores.I was called for an interview about a week later.I first interviewed with a district manager at a store for about 30 minutes.We discussed my experience in retail and my management style.I was called the next day and was scheduled to do a second interview with a store manager about a week later.This interview was basically a store walk starting from the front entrance of the store through the entire store including the freezer and coolers and ended in the receiving area.This was about another 30 minute process.The manager walked trough the daily routines and company expectations.This was basically to give me insight on the job I was applying for.At the end of the walk/interview I was asked if it was something I was interested in doing.I was called 2 days later to set up an interview with the director of store operations.I attended that interview 4 days later at the regional corporate office.They made me feel welcomed,I was a brand new facility.The director started out by giving me a run down on how the the interview will go,She stressed that honesty is the most important thing and if I was found to be dishonest about anything I will not be considered .She also said the interview will be about 30 minutes,I felt rushed at first because this was the final step and there is no way I could articulate my 20 years of experience in that short time.Well 30 minutes turned into two hours,She actually became very interested in what I had to say and started ingadging me in conversation and my retail experience.By this time she had called in a another director to sit in on the process.The interview lasted another 20 minutes after that at which they excused themselves from the room.They were gone for about 5 minutes,they came back in and offered me the job pending drug and background check.That process took one week.

Interview
I applied to a listing on Indeed and was directed to complete an additional application on the company website. After submitting the applications, I received an email requesting the completion of a "video interview" via HireVue. I downloaded the HireVue app and used to code provided by Aldi. To begin, they provide the opportunity to complete a few practice questions before initiating the official interview submission. You can do as many practices as you want, there doesn't seem to be a limit or cap. I would recommend that you use this chance to practice as much as possible. Though the practice questions were not the same questions in the official interview, if gives you the chance to get used to the process and the quick timeframe allowed for your answers. The actual interview process involved a series of 8 questions, ranging from situational inquired to questions about your experience and background. You are given 90 seconds to prepare after each question is asked (video of an actor reads the question, then the question is listed on the screen while a timer counts down), then you have a limited amount of time to answer each question, which varied from 90 seconds to 2 minutes if I recall. Once the timer runs out, there is no chance to review the video or rerecord your answers. The last 2-3 questions were multiple choice questions/responses. While I understand that this could be considered by some employers to be a useful tool for sifting or sorting through a multitude of applicants, I do not see the real value of this system. As a seasoned manger with thousands of interviews under my belt, I believe that an interview should be a conversation between two people. I've never had a stopwatch with me while interviewing anyone, limiting their allowed time for answers, then cutting them off when they reach their time limit. It is fairly well known that you should prepare for interviews and do your best to limit your answers to most questions to 2-3 minutes, but this was extreme to say the least.

Interview
1st. Pre-recorded video questions, which were a bit odd. 2nd phone interview with Aldi recruiter. 3rd in-person interview with district manager. 4th teams interview with the regional ops manager. Each interview was about 30 minutes. A good experience. Every interview they point out the fast pace environment with a only a few staff members so speed, coaching and efficiency is a must.

Interview
It went great for the first part. They called and set up a second interview and then when I was waiting for the interview to start I got an email stating that they were moving on with a different person. I was irritated because I literally signed on and 5 minutes past when the interview was suppose to start I get that email and was left hanging. Idk what kind of crap they are running there but it was highly unprofessional
