Poundworld Employer Reviews

Poundworld is a good company to work for but the hardest part is lifting all the heavy boxes off the delivery and up a flight of stairs. I enjoy working on the till and socialising with the customers and it helps the day go along. The hours are not that very good though, as a new mother I need flexable times to work and this just isn't possible as delivery – more... times require you to be in work for 6am, three days a week. – less

lasted 2 weeks, Training Store was a joke, Store Manageress thought nothing of be-belittling you in front of other staff members or customers. General Staff were a pleasure to work with. No fun whatsoever!!!!

I started working at poundworld in december, a very busy time with customers shopping for christmas, my days where busy from start till finish, i was able to keep shelves well stocked, looking neat and tidy whilst having to work on till serving customers with a friendly manner and keeping ques from builing up. I enjoyed everything about the job, i got – more... on great with my co workers and management, i am still in touch with them. – less

9 to 5 learned to stock take refill stock on shelfs general upkeep, till work cash handling, bank runs, good co worker got along well did our work within time specified. Not hard work enjoyable, enjoyed all aspects of work.

poundworld is an amazing company to work for however i think management treat their staff and store managers like slaves and dont show them any sort of respect for the job they do preform and its a crying shame as they do have some really hard and productive employees and managers to hand .

not the best job i have had but but also had worse.the rota was always changed staff not always informed about it.the people i worked with were good.

Everyone was really friendly, easy to get on with. Really easy job just serving customers processing payments on the till and stocking up. The management was ok but he told me when I started I would be doing 20 - 30 hours a week but only ended up doing 8 hours a week. The hardest part of the job was when It got really busy on the till and I was the – more... only one serving. the most enjoyable part was talking to customers as I was serving them. – less

• Stock shelves with products.
• Handled cash whilst working at the tills.
• Maintained the warehouse and its general state.
• Cleaned up the shop floor at the end of the shift

I learned a lot as I had time to personally reflect and concentrate on finishing university and looking towards a career.

They treat staff very poorly and and have a disregard for health and safty and indevidual circumstances theye threaten staff and also have a high staff turn around.

i was not happy with the way they treated me. cutting my hours from 32 - 8. many have left since i did and they where not happy either.

Although the work is not very challenging, you work as a team and your work collegues become family.

A typical day at Poundworld was stocking the shelves with a variety of products on sale at the shop.

I learned to find the right products that needed to be replenished and stack them in the correct area of the shop.

I got on well with my co-workers.

The hardest part of the job was searching for the products in the store room.

The most enjoyable – more... part of the job was the happiness of the customers – less

loved the whole area of retail from serving, to managing to ordering and banking to merchandising comes natural to me.

A typical day at PoundWorld would consist of many different things, the majority of the time i would be on till which i did not mind at all, if i was not on the till i would be stocking up or bringing stock up from downstairs.
I learned how to cope working in quite a fast paced environment, dealing with customers and being able to carry out several – more... other jobs around the shop.
the hardest part of the job was delivery, receiving 8-12 pallets of stock per week, moving them to their designated position was extremely tiring as we also had to take the majority of the stock up a large flight of stairs.
the most enjoyable part was meeting new people and working as a team with the other members of staff. – less

At my job I will be on the till serving customers. i can also put the stock out in the shop. I have learned to speak up for myself. I have also became better at problem solving and my communication skills have improved as I have to talk to the customers and help them when needed. My co-workers are great as we all help each other out. We work together – more... well as part of a team. The hardest part of my job is when its really busy in the shop and you don't stop for a minute, it can be stressful at times. – less

Atypical day at work is helping people, tiding up the shop, making sure it's tidy, serving custemers and on tills. I learned a lot of things, i learned how to use the till when i was on it, how to help people to find something and how to stock things on the shop floor. The most enjoyable part of the job was being on the till and having a laugh with – more... other staff. The hardest part of the job was waking up early on a morning to get into work. – less
