YOU ASK YOURSELF: WHY US?
"The METRO Potentials programme is so attractive to me because it has everything I was looking for: first and foremost, an employer who shares my passions for quality, good food and team spirit. In addition, it involves working with and for great and inspiring clients. And finally, this also includes getting a taste of different areas of the company, thus building up a broad network and being able to make your own contribution to the company's success." - Jan Walter, former METRO Potential, now Executive Assistant of CHRO
