The monthly salary of a butcher department manager can reach €3,900 per month. | WEST FRANCE
Large retailers are not known for offering sky-high salaries to their employees. But some professions in the sector are doing much better than others. This is the case of the head of the butchery department, reports International affairs . According to the specialized media, this position, which requires a CAP in butchery, is paid between 40,000 and 60,000 euros gross per year. That is to say a net monthly salary which can reach around €3,900. Very attractive remuneration when we know that other department heads receive on average between 25,000 and 45,000 euros per year.
Increasingly rare skills
Why such a salary for this profession which does not require a high level of training? Firstly because good profiles are rare in this sector. Meat work is no longer as attractive as it once was and the skills required to hold this position have therefore become valuable. Brands therefore do not hesitate to offer high remuneration to attract the best candidates. Some also invest in the training of young employees, particularly in management, to enable them to take charge of this function which consists of managing stocks, purchasing, managing teams and reporting to management, specifies Capital .
Large distribution sometimes suffers from a poor image in terms of employment, with working conditions considered difficult and low salaries. But the butcher department manager can therefore hope to receive generous remuneration while enjoying the security and advantages of a permanent contract in a large group.
