ALDI interview questions

Responded in person to an ad seeking to fill two positions, Shift Manager and Cashier. Stood in line that wrapped around inside the store while filling out the application. Knew I'd get a call back because I was one of the few people dressed to look for a job in the line. Initial contact at the front of the line consisted of an initial screening, "are you available anytime" "can you lift x" and, interestingly, how long were you in line. Called in to interview with the DM, one on one in the break area. More conversation than interview. Came across as over qualified and ambitious which sank me, I think.

The interview process began great. They had a detailed info night and dinner. I had a great second round interview on campus and was asked to a third. However, my experience completely went sour at the final interview. It consisted of first a tour of the warehouse followed by 3 20 minute long interviews with 2 directors and the Vice President. The first director basically spent his time telling me that I would have to be prepared to have no life as a DM and how he missed his son's state basketball game. The other two interviews were very hectic and rushed, with the last question being "You have 30 seconds to tell me why should I give you this position." The over-all atmosphere was very impersonal and they made no effort to make you feel welcomed or want to join the company. At a store visit the current DM just stared at us and made us ask questions for an hour and a half with awkward pauses in between. They took us out to lunch at a dingy italian restaurant and only talked about non-relate-able topics amongst themselves and made no effort to make conversation with the candidates. It was an over-all terrible experience and I would never enjoy working for them.
