METRO AG

Insights

METRO is a leading international food wholesaler which specialises in serving the needs of hotels, restaurants, and caterers (HoReCa) as well as independent traders. We operate in more than 30 countries and employ over 93,000 people worldwide. Around the world, METRO has approx. 17 million customers who benefit from the wholesale company’s unique multichannel mix: customers can purchase their goods in our stores, as well as by delivery (Food Service Distribution) – all digitally supported and connected.

In parallel, METRO MARKETS is being developed as an international online marketplace for the needs of professional customers. We strongly support local communities: in our countries we locally endorse the competitiveness of entrepreneurs and independent businesses with digital solutions and thereby contribute to cultural diversity in trade and the hospitality industry.

 We have made it our goal to lift the food and hospitality sector to a new level! The "ONE METRO" spirit is what drives us to bring together every single employee in our global METRO community and to work together with curiosity, determination, courage, hands-on mentality, commitment and trust.

 For you as the young talents, we offer graduate programmes, internships, apprenticeships, traineeships and working student job offers. Our international graduate programme for example is designed by METRO AG and led by METRO/MAKRO wholesale countries. The programme consists of different blocks where the graduates experience rotations between departments in the stores and the headquarters, starting yearly on the 1st of September. They are also personally mentored by a local Country Board member and get exposure to an international assignment. You can find out what the METRO Potentials themselves say about the programme on our website. Being part of the food wholesale industry which flourishes always, even in times of global challenges and insecurities, we offer job security for the young talents. Our modern approach offers flexible working hours with our hybrid model. 

We encourage you to build your own learning path and develop yourself along the way. At METRO, we stand for a culture that focuses on collaboration and responsibility, fairness and support, reliability and sustainability. We therefore are recognized as Top Employer Europe in 2023 for the 9th consecutive year, in addition to being honored in 8 METRO/MAKRO Wholesale countries this year.
