Pros

Training - Indepth comprehensive training from Day 1 and continued learning through-out. Great support from the training dept. Progression - Starting in the business as an Assistant Manager, I have been promoted to General Manager, I was also foolish enough to leave the business to go to another company in the KBB industry. I was humbled to be welcomed back into the business as an Assistant Manager, where I've since been promoted again to General Manager. Networking - The opportunity to network and collaborate with different departments and other managers is great. Sometimes through monthly meetings or through trial initiatives. Pace - Wren is incredibly fast paced, there's certainly no time to twiddle thumbs. There's always something to do and that's one of the reasons I came back. Pay is also a pro, why else do we come to work. I think Wren is a fantastic business to work for, I wouldn't have come back otherwise.

Cons

As with all jobs there are cons. Wren has put some great things in place to reward Designers recently. There has been things in place for managers previously. But there isn't retention project for managers. Even something like PerkBox would be nice. Any other "con" is subject to the individual. I've previously had weekends off in another job, honestly doing my shopping on Sat or Sun was hell. Weekends are by far the best days to work in retail.

Pros

I’ve been with Wren Kitchens for about a year now, and my experience has been nothing but positive. The company continues to grow and expand, which creates great opportunities to learn new things and develop professionally. The environment is very collaborative and supportive. There’s a great balance of autonomy in your role while still having the support of teammates and management when needed. My manager has been especially great at providing coaching, guidance, and encouragement that has helped me continue to grow in my role. The benefits are also very competitive, and I really appreciate that there are multiple options available so you can choose the plans that best suit your lifestyle and needs. The PTO offering is competitive as well, which makes it easier to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Overall, it’s been a rewarding experience working for a company that values development, teamwork, and continued growth.

Cons

None that I can think of!

Pros

Strong opportunity to learn and retain role-specific knowledge. Hands on experience with Salesforce (CRM). Encouraged to troubleshoot and resolve issues independently without over reliance on support. Coworkers are consistently helpful and collaborative within departments. Team culture is supportive and driven to help each other succeed. Customer service processes within the call center are generally well structured. Company provides the necessary tools and supplies to do the job.

Cons

Role requires constant attention to detail, which can be mentally taxing. In some cases, answers for client inquiries require escalation, delaying resolution. Cross department communication and processes outside of the call center can be unclear or inconsistent. Certain policies add extra steps that slow down issue resolution for customers. Pay is acceptable but could be more competitive for the level of responsibility. Fixed schedule (9:00–5:30) offers limited flexibility.
