I applied online at ALDI (Exton PA) and was scheduled (via email) for a group interview at the store. I had to wait in line for over one hour after arriving 30 minutes early. There were at least 20 other people scheduled at the same time opposed to being staggered 15 minutes apart. I followed all instructions by being prepared for the interview. I researched the company's history, goals, community service, DE &I and brought copies of my resume and list of questions that I prepared. I have now interviewed twice at ALDI for store positions and have over twenty years of retail store and career experience that would enable me to add value and be a major contributor. It was very disappointing that none of the store managers or interviewers expressed any interest in the documents and questions that I prepared. I felt rushed. They informed me that I will get another time to present my documents at the next round of interviews and will receive an update (within a few days) via email on Tuesday. The few questions they asked were very easy and standard. I also informed them how convenient it would be for me to commute to work at this location.

Interview began 45 minutes after our scheduled time. They had everyone that they wanted to interview that day line up at the front of the store in the order that they arrived and go back one by one. The interviewer (store manager) spent more time talking about themselves and their personal life rather than asking me many meaningful questions. Overall, the process took about 15 minutes per person.
