Poundland Careers and Employment

I was put on the self service tills and the checkouts , the tills on the self service kept running out of receipts and sometimes jams needed to be sorted out, when you while yo were doing this you obviously can't see what is going on around you, I was told I should keep an eye out as customers were walking out . They did not open the checkouts but relied on the self service tills, I enjoyed working on the checkouts and so had a following of regular customers , one day I was on the self service tills and there was a load of customers that wanted to preserve jobs and use the check out , several supervisors were struggling to sere the people, a group of women came in who were some of my regulars and said "This wouldn't happen if Russell was working" On top of all this they were telling me to stock the shelves, clearly they were not employing enough staff and they were piling other peoples workloads on me

Regional Trainer in Hampshire

on 18 April 2021

Unprofessional and poorly managed.

The MD and retail manager are great, the rest are a waste of time, very much a "yes sir" culture but nothing is followed through. Regional managers have an exceptionally tough job but do not have any area managers with any form of leadership. HR functions try hard but they are not up to the job and the L&D support is very poor with only one competent L&D persons available. The company is run by very poor leadership.
