    From their recruitment page:

    If you're over 18, a practical and friendly team player who likes demanding work in a fast-paced environment, then click here for more information.

    Minimum €10.85 per hour (€11.65 per hour in Dublin), 15 - 35 hours per week.

    Hardly seems fair considering utilities such as heating, light, telephone and food cost the same country wide.

    Do aldi offer lower prices to people living outside dublin?

    Who'd work for them anyway?

    It's to lure people into move to Dublin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,619 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    It's not enough IMO. I wouldn't work in the city.

    I would. They work you like a bollix but I already worked like a bollix and I get paid minimum wage....

    ^^^ What she said.

    It's a non issue. You'd still have a higher standard of living in the country on the slightly lower wage.

    I was expecting this to be about 25% off TK Red Lemmonade. Or at least Country Spring. :(

    Makes sense, the cost of living is a lot higher than it is in most of the country.




  • Nearly everything is way more expensive in Dublin than the rest of the country. That extra 80 cents or whatever it is wouldn't even make up the difference in living costs.

    Or the fact the price of living in Dublin is higher....

    Seriously, 80 cent an hour is hardly going to make up for the increased costs of living in Dublin.

    Common practice in London. Even civil servents get paid more in London.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    It's a COLA (cost of living adjustment) as already mentioned it's due to the
    higher prices and cost of living when residing in a city.

    Very true. It's stated on all recruitment advertisements for teachers, bank staff etc in London.

    Young people in good jobs can't afford houses in Dublin but a huge amount of young people outside of Dublin with mediocre jobs have houses. Larger salaries are justified in Dublin.

    I'm sure plenty would, given that they apparently pay far better than other supermarkets - although you will work your hole off!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8 ontheroad24/7


    Just about every job pays better in Dublin. Not enuf tho to compensate for the poorer quality of life, me thinks !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    Why do you see it as Aldi offering less pay for people outside of Dublin rather than offering people working in Dublin more pay? Why must you see the glass as half empty? Whhyyyyy? Why do you insist there's an anti-bogger agenda? Whyyyy? Bloody boggers -_-

    Germans hate culchies

    Simple as...:rolleyes:

    I'm seriously arithmetically disabled, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that €32 less for a 40-hour week?
