Pros

Unfortunately there are no pros to working at wren. I so wish i had taken the time to read reviews .

Cons

I shoud have read the reviews before accepting position. The turnover of staff is crazy. I realised within the first 2 weeks after training (which is very rushed and not enough time spent on designing and more on what you can supposedy earn, which i may add is not a lot). They promised you a 'buddy' who will be with you through out the first 2 weeks in the showroom... i had nobody to help me and i had to keep asking for my 'buddy' !! Everybody is stressed and unhappy and you walk into morning meetings (30 mins before your shift starts - unpaid ) to a manager who is also stressed teling you how many appointments you have to book that day and how much you have to sell. If there are 6 designers working and only 6 possible customers through their doors on that day then as you can imagine its pretty unobtainable. You will be expected to sit on the help desk which also means if a customer walks in you are unable to leave the helpdesk as the head office have cameras watching these work stations to make sure they are manned all the time. The helpdesk is just call after call of people complaining of missing or damaged items from their kitchens. The managers then refuses to take the calls if they have already have spoken to the customer previously. My advice is steer clear. everyone initially after training stays in contact with each other on a watsap group all quite excited at what they believe to be a great earning potential company. We all dropped off within 3 to 4 months. If you haven't left then you can turn up to work and be sacked on the spot for not achieving targets. The managers have the right to knock out a sale so cheaply (as it makes their stats better) and this can actualy COST staff money.

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.
