I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at ALDI (Milwaukee, WI) in Jan 2016
Interview
Came across ALDI at a university job fair, was interested in the position and gave them a resume. Later that night I had to apply on my university's career website with a resume and was invited to accept an interview time with an informational dinner meeting the night before. The dinner meeting was basically a two hour informative presentation, explained the position, the training and some basic info about the company its products and the position. The next morning was a simple 30 minute interview all with very standard initial interview questions. I was told at the end that I could expect a response either yes or no if they were interested in having me interview again.

Question 1
Why are you interested in the District Manager position?
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Salisbury, NC) in Mar 2016
Interview
I did not attend the mandatory dinner but was able to get in for an on-campus interview. First interview is behavioral and the second interview takes place over the better part of an entire day. You tour a division's headquarters and meet current district managers as well as the division directors. There is an informal lunch with everyone from the office and it appears that they are looking for people who are engaging eager. They talk about the difficulties of the position, lots of "putting out fires." The district managers do lots of little tasks and are jacks of all traits. I think they are looking for people who really want a long-term career with Aldi in particular and for people who are high energy with high aptitude and with excellent interpersonal skills and conflict resolution.
