A plant manager makes 20 times more than a worker

The gross monthly salary of a plant manager is 23,550 RON (5,750 euros), whereas workers involved in production earn 1,114 RON (270 euros) on average, shows a survey conducted in January by HR and management consultancy AIMS Human Capital Romania on 98 manufacturing companies that own plants in the North, West, and centre of Romania.
Thus, the monthly salary of an executive running a production facility is on average 20 times higher than that of a worker.
The highest salary in production, as reported in the AIMS study, amounts to 10,000 euros a month. “The lowest monthly salary is the minimum wage, 600 RON in gross amount, which some companies pay to entry-level workers or to trainee workers. The biggest salary reported in the survey is around 40,000 RON in gross amount (around 10,000 euros) and is earned by a general manager who oversees both Romanian operations and those in other European countries,” says Gynella Parfenie, senior consultant with AIMS Human Capital.
