Pros
When I first joined Wren, I saw the job in customer services as a bit of a filler in my job history. Straight from leaving teaching, I did not envision making a career with a company that sold kitchens, no matter how beautiful they were. How wrong I was! Starting at Wren was the best choice I ever made. The company has excellent career progression prospects. In just under 4 years, I have had various roles within customer services, have been a trainer, and am now a part of training management. The company is fast paced, continuously expanding, and full of opportunity. The Head Office site is stunning, and the offices are clean and modern. As a company, technology is fully embraced, and new, innovative ideas are encouraged. There are added perks, too. How many employers leave a chocolate cupcake for the staff on Valentine's day, or have an icecream van with free icecream in the summer! Everyday, the business moves in the right direction. Processes for Customer Service, Head Office, Manufacturing and Transport, and the Retail Showrooms are working harder and harder to ensure that our customer's are put first. After the politics, pace, workload, and work/life balance of being a secondary school teacher, this company was a breath of fresh air.
Cons
The company may be a little too fast paced for some. The company has grown quickly, so there are still kinks to iron out.
