Even shops could be decent employers by today's standards at one point. Marks and Spencer's had a final salary pension scheme back in the bad old 70s (according to a colleague).

A friend was singing the praises of Aldi the other day saying they pay £10/hr in her area (not London) but this page doesn't uphold that claim. £7.25 to £7.40 for a stock assistant is lowest pay listed. Aldi Recruitment - Stores She also said some of her ex pupils have worked there and been happy and they treated them well. I didn't say anything as I couldn't remember whether someone had claimed it was Lidl or Aldi that did not treat staff well.

Anyway good on them for implementing a living wage, I suppose, seeing as plenty don't.

I head Aldi used to pay check out staff well at one point as they had to memorise the price of everything in the store. If that was the case once it obviously isn't any more since everything get scanned now, so I would guess pay rates have slipped to more typical levels.
