The Range

I joined just over 3 years ago the induction and training provided was excellent and over the years any further training has been given when needed. Now working on the loss prevention team and things are going for good to fantastic. Plenty of teamwork and a good manager and supervisor ensure that should you find that you need to learn something new that they will do all they can to get you taught. The work life balance as an office based member of staff is really good and the wage is appropriate for what I’m doing now feel. Team and contractor meetings are held quite often which helps build up the work relationships with the team and all the contractors. In my mind this is the best job I have had in my life and there’s opportunities for advancement

You're literally spending your shift running up and down to the tills and back on shop floor cause this store hardly has any Till staff left because a lot them have walked out of this job and few of them has been dismissed without them being replaced thus making our job difficult to finish of deliveries that are constantly coming in at large numbers. Customers have even complained about the state of store with the lack of till staff, Lights not working in parts of the store and no Security. This store is dangerously under staff and all they care about is under cutting staff so they can hire younger people cause they get paid less. Absolutely dreadful.

I work on the food department, with a co worker im part time my co worker is full time, we start from the warehouse loading from pallets up to 6 at a time on to trollies and ship to our food warehouse we date check and date rotate. then to the shop floor where we distribute and date rotate all foods, none being fresh. the hardest part of the job is school holidays and Christmas/easter when our pallets double, we are usually left to work on our own initiative, the manager may come to us to ask us to change an end as new products get introduced. My co worker and work well together and bounce of each other, we also have to clean as we go. we also have to cover checkouts.

i started at the range in late October 2016, and was very nervous as it was my first proper job working with people who were older, and more experienced than me. however, I settled in soon enough and began to feel like I was part of the family, always being greeted with warm smiles. as a newcomer to the working world, I struggled with some of the work tasks but soon got to grips thanks to me helpful colleges. as I was a seasonal temp most of my day to day duties included restocking the shelves and making sure everything has the correct pricing label, keeping the shelves looking presentable and full as well as helping customers find their products and cleaning up after closing time.

Worked here through an agency.  Supposed to be 12 weeks probation then a permanant contract. Supervisor who was supposed to be doing the training didn't  know what he was doing so because of bad management probation was extended another 6 weeks.  They don't tell you that you have to pass tests to be made permanent. If you don't pass 1st time probation is extended. They talk of training and progression but don't implement this. The department's are very clicky and mostly filled of post grad twenty something's  or students. Finally quit after 6 months after being singled out and discriminated against.

Working at the range presents few positives the brakes are quite good which include to 15 minutes and one 45 minute break throughout the day if you are working more than eight hours the management structure will have you working 39.5 hours and paying you for no more and God help you if you are part time with the promise of more hours throughout the year eat and never delivering on this.

Working in the summer here is awful as they do not provide air con and the temperature is unbearable.

The people you work with will claim to be your friend but are all in all two faced as they come.

The range was very busy over the Christmas period so you had to be very fast, accurate on things and work to a high standard. i learned a lot about using tills and how to correctly stock shelves. Management was very organised and things ran smoothly most days. All the workers were nice and friendly throughout my period of work. Their wasn't a hard part of the job for me i very much enjoyed all aspects of working their.

Not enough hours in the day to get through the workload they give you. No such thing as training! Management spend more time outside smoking, whilst staff struggle to cope. Co-workers have been leaving in droves mostly because of the mean girl management tatics. Moral of co-workers very low. Hardest part of the job is faceing another day under bad managers.Some of the customers are great, really appreciative of our efforts.

Apart from the flexibility they allowed me due to unsettled child responsibilities the management at my particular store was awful.

I have never worked for a company which uses tyranny and divide and conquer strategies as a form of organizing a demoralized workforce... Shocking and bizarre.

Thankfully there are some very nice people who work hard on the floor.

I loved working here because it was like working with one big family all very supportive. Can get very busy and overwhelming. Mangament varys day to day but mostly good. Hardest part of the job is keeping customers happy when understaffed. Most enjoyable part of the job is being supported with any issues very quickly.
