Pros
Free parking, cafeteria, small gym.
Cons
Systemic culture of bullying. Dead-end work. Total lack of job security. Imagine a 19th century mill with the lumpen proletariat slaving away in a huge room. Replace the looms with phones and computers and you are looking at Wren. A fearful staff constantly heckled by middle managers who seem to be in competition to outdo each other. There is nobody to raise concerns to, no empathy, no decency. I saw colleagues fired with impunity but I didn't get out before the same happened to me. There is one way to treat this company... as a stepping stone. Get in, take as much money from them as possible, get whatever experience you need for your next job and then get out.
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.
