I enjoy working for Poundland because It’s a fun, fast paced working environment with a lot of opportunities for individuals to grow and thrive. I have a good relationship with colleagues on my site and in the wider Distribution network; there’s always a project or a challenge to get stuck into, and an opportunity to make a difference.

I’m in my third role in the time I’ve been at Poundland. It’s a company where, if you deliver strong performance, or stand out in your field, it will open doors. I joined as Stock Control Manager at Springvale Distribution Centre. I was seconded to the Warehouse Manager role to cover absence, and subsequently took that position full time. More recently I moved to Wellmans Road Distribution Centre to take over the site.

There’s a good sense of fun and workplace satisfaction, and progression does happen – not everyone will get the opportunities they want, but I’ve seen numerous internal promotions within Distribution in my time.

The most rewarding part about working for Poundland is the knowledge that I’m making a difference, not just in terms of financial performance or store service but feedback that I’ve made a positive impact to the teams that work for me is very rewarding. I also really like the ‘fun’ culture within the business, I think I fit with the culture here much better than any previous employer; I can just be myself.

There’s usually something to challenge us in Distribution – weather, large volume fluctuations to plan, delivering strong service whilst retaining our principles of low cost, Christmas trees that are too tall to fit on trailers, short notice and unusual requests from various departments, inventory levels – but really, they’re just part of the job.

I love working for Poundland as it’s a down to earth organisation with good values and a great team of people that care about the business. Everyone gets a voice and you are given a good level of autonomy and encouragement to do your job. My team and I have made many changes to help us deliver a better output and our business has supported our ideas and expertise along the way.

I have worked here for just short of 4 years and have grown in my role giving me more breadth and responsibility. I have also had the opportunity to develop others in my team and have several colleagues that I have helped progress further within our business which is something I’m proud of.

Being a value led retailer it’s important to keep our costs to do business down and my team and I are challenged with delivering good quality work at good value prices. This can be a challenge on a large multi-site estate but one my team and I embrace. I think having fun and working together to common goals is important and something we encourage across our business.

I’d recommend Poundland as a good place to work if you are looking for a challenge and being part of a team that works hard and works together.

Amazing opportunities exist but it’s about chasing your goal. I’d recommend working for Poundland, it’s exhilarating!

I’m a country girl who always dreamed of living in the big city… Now I get to visit loads of them on a daily basis!

I’ve worked for Poundland for 4 years now and started as Store Manager in a new phase of Retail Park stores and progressed to Area Manager 16 months ago. Somewhere in between that I ran 2 Poundland stores!

Success in Poundland is not an accident nor is it luck. It’s hard work, perseverance, learning and most of all living what you are doing. If you’re a curious person then Poundland is an amazing place to work, as there are always lots of new and exciting challenges that stretch the heart, mind and soul. Every day I feel inspired in my work and so everything seems to fall into place.

I don’t feel like a number I feel like a key player in the success of the company. It’s not for the feint hearted though, the pace the business moves at is as fast as the service at the tills! in our stores and you have got to be proactive, timely and detail orientated.

Like any job it has its ups and downs, mostly it’s the frustrations of not achieving what you needed to do or getting the results you wanted as quickly as you want. But every day is new day; My motto is “You should never give up trying to do what you love to!”

I’m always speaking to people from different customer facing backgrounds to come and join the Poundland Team, even recommending to my brother in Ireland to come and join the DEALZ team!

I have worked for the business now for 10 years and started in 2008 when the Company was considerably smaller than it is now. Through my time with the business I have seen a number of changes with take overs and changes of leadership which in turn led to a number of opportunities for colleagues within the business.

Through all of these changes the business has continued to operate a fun and friendly culture that has presented a number of opportunities for me within the business. Especially given that I started with this business as a temp and have worked my way up to the role of HR Manager within the Distribution team where I am still learning and being given development opportunities.

As with all business there have been times where I have become frustrated by events or changes however, there has always been a sense of support that meant frustrations could be aired and dealt with accordingly. We are a single priced retailer that means money is tight and we do not always have all of the systems other Company’s have the luxury of but whilst this is frustrating we work together as a team to use each others skills to achieve the same as any other business and I think we do it well.

I would and have recommended this business to many of my now colleagues as I feel the environment we work in allows you to learn and develop in a fast-paced growing business.

I’ve worked for Poundland for almost 7 years, I started in store, and after finishing my degree I was promoted to a role within Head Office.

The progression at Poundland has been second to none – Poundland offers great opportunities to progress your career and I also feel the business offers fantastic cross funtional movement, so allows you to develop not only in your current area, but in alternate areas too.

I enjoy working for Poundland because I feel it’s such a great place to express yourself personally, and there is a strong development programme that I really admire. The working culture at Poundland is extremely friendly.

I would highly recommend working for Poundland because it’s a fast paced working environment, and every day is different. My favourite thing about working for Poundland are the people and the culture.

I started off nearly 10 years ago at Springvale as a picker through Tudor Employment. I then took my FLT licence and came onto Poundlands books on 01/11/2011. Originally as a sole Reach FLT operator and picker during busy times, the company offered various different tasks and the accompanying training to grow into. This involved admin, loading, Counterbalance, and goods in experience. During this time I have had the pleasure of working alongside some great individuals who have helped push me to go to the next level. I then progressed as a Warehouse Team Manager after someone saw my pontential and I have enjoyed working with some brilliant managers with who helped and encouraged my growth. I then took the leap from Warehouse to Transport in March 2017, with little Transport knowledge but a whole host of transferrable skills was given the chance to be a Transport Team Manager. I have enjoyed the challenges getting to where I am and are now looking to progress to the next level as Transport Manager as I work towards my CPC, which the company is encouraging.

During my time with Poundland, I can definitely say there is chance to progress for anybody who has the right determination and hard work to put in. The company has always been supporting, offering the training and guidance to excel at the path you choose.
