Best thing
The best things about poundstretcher are that it is a fairly quiet environment, less pressure on employees since its a small sized supermarket. The employees are very friendly, Managers are easy going and direct at the same time, flexible for students and a good first job for students who want to start somewhere small to gain experience and to put on CV.
Worst thing
The pay as it is only £4.81 per hour , which is minimum wage. And the location of the job isn't at a great place , particularly at night.
