How much does one earn in retail at Lidl, Kaufland or dm?

The result is surprising: hardware stores are often more generous than supermarkets and discounters.

Neckarsulm - Anyone who goes shopping at Lidl, Kaufland or dm and does not work for one of the retailers themselves probably gives little thought to what the employees in the branches earn.

The "Kununu" platform gives an insight into how high the sales force's income is, reports BW24.

Difference between skilled and unskilled labor at grocers far greater

Surprisingly, employees of hardware stores such as Hornbach or Obi perform far better than discount giant Lidl.

When comparing salaries, keep your eyes open when choosing a career.

Because even if some jobs are more popular than others, they don't necessarily pay well.

A salesperson at Hornbach earns EUR 29,700 gross per year, while a retail clerk earns EUR 30,600 gross.

At least that's what the average salaries are on the "Kununu" comparison platform.

There users can enter their salary.

The annual gross salary on a full-time basis including special benefits is queried.

However, it is not specified who is providing the information, i.e. whether it is a long-standing employee or a newly hired person.

Salary comparison: DIY stores have many advantages

Location can also play a major role in salary.

According to the ranking, people earn the most in Stuttgart.

The

Lebensmittelzeitung (LZ)

compiled a ranking that included both grocers and hardware stores.

There, too, it is noticeable that hardware stores pay far better than Lidl, Kaufland and Co. "We voluntarily and nationwide pay at least the tariff value of the respective retail tariff in all Hornbach stores," the retailer told the

LZ

.

In addition, employees receive vacation and Christmas bonuses as well as profit-sharing.

This is also good for the employees.

The average length of service at Hornbach is ten years.

The difference in salary between sales staff and trained retail clerks is also minimal at Hornbach.

Salary comparison: Salaries increase with minimum wage

A glimmer of hope for many branch employees: Salaries could soon rise if the statutory minimum wage were to be raised to 12 euros an hour in October.

Many retailers are already promising to adjust hourly wages before the minimum wage is raised.

According to the

Lebensmittelzeitung

, pet supplies retailer Fressnapf announced that it would be paying at least 12 euros per hour from April.

The salaries at Bosch are far higher.

While the salary differences between trained and unskilled workers are only small at hardware stores, it is different at Kaufland, Lidl, Netto and Globus.

There, the longer training of retail salespeople pays off compared to salespeople.

Trained retail salespeople can count on around 4,000 euros more.

Salary comparison: Not all retailers agree with "Kununu".

When it comes to salaries for store managers of over 50,000 euros, Aldi and Lidl win the race with the highest pay.

The drugstore chain dm ranks third among sales staff with EUR 26,900, and Kaufland fourth with EUR 26,100. For comparison: according to Kununu, retail sales staff in Germany earn between EUR 19,600 and EUR 24,400, with the average being EUR 23,700.

Retail merchants receive between EUR 22,380 and EUR 26,660, which is an average of EUR 25,100.

These areas cannot keep up with the salaries at Daimler.

A headhunter revealed what Daimler employees really earn.

However, not all dealers agree with the information on "Kununu".

According to the Lebensmittelzeitung

, Lidl

stated that all employees covered by the collective agreement were paid more than the collective bargaining agreement plus holiday and Christmas bonuses and that they already had an internal minimum entry-level wage of 12.50 euros.
