Best thing
My work colleagues are some of the nicest people I've ever had to work with.
Worst thing
The fact that the owner doesn't care about his staff at all,saying 'if they dont like it, they know where the door is' is probably one of the most dismissive statements a person can make.

Best thing
Going home. Other normal-ranked staff on the floor. A couple exceptionally nice managers in the office. Bad mouthing the store to customers.
Worst thing
- The pay. £8.36 for a lot of heavy lifting, bending down low, pulling heavy pallet trucks, having to have extensive product knowledge because....
-nothing in the store is priced correctly. Barcodes go missing and "pre-pricing" (the price stickers on the item), when it comes from The Range itself, will inevitably be wrong - something priced for £19.99 will end up as £25.99 because of head office increasing the prices without bothering to update the sticker price on the stock - which means you then have to awkwardly explain this to every disgruntled customer that passes and pray the supervisor is in a good mood and thus will lower the price of the item. Woe is you if the sticker has been drawn over with cheap marker or the supervisor does not feel like reducing it.
- Being treated like a school child (talked down to, scolded for having a phone, not allowed card, keys, loose change or even chewing gum in your pockets -- note also you are subject to personal searches upon the whims of management and can be fired for having the "wrong thing" on you at the wrong time - which can be as little as a 50p pack of noodles without a receipt.)

Every single thing. Never work here if you can avoid it. If you can't avoid it, immediately start looking for other jobs so you can get out of there

Best thing
The staff are very friendly, its easy to get along with everyone (mostly). Since the shop is so big I get my 10,000 steps in every shift.
Worst thing
Its heavy going, and there are too many responsibilities for what you are paid. You are working stock, being questioned by customers, pricing, being given tasks from head-office and working as relief staff for the checkouts all at the same time. Its an exhausting process learning how the place works, and the range clearly does not respect their employees.

I like the people I work with on my level, everyone is really nice.
Worst thing
It stresses me out a lot. Management doesn’t seem to care about mental health, they seem to be oblivious about mental breakdowns. When I’m trying my best they’re always saying ‘quicker quicker quicker’, it just seems like my best isn’t enough for them. They also threaten to fire us for making little mistakes.

Jarring management, rubbish money, no flexibility, no care, profits before people, strict regime and alienating everyone they seem to come across.

Worst thing
The pay is not good compared to any other place you could work at.
All supervisors and prestige, will say and do whatever they want without thinking.
It’s very complicated to communicate when you need other colleagues.
Tills are over complicated, you need to call a supervisor to void any item, even if it’s when you accidentally scan a 5p bag.The Range Retail assistant, March 2021
