Pros

Majority of the staff are great Potential to earn lots of your a managers favourite

Cons

Long working hours- 11 hour days Unpaid over time- hours are not given back if you have stayed extra Poor training in the showroom- one week training in Hull which is good but doesn’t include much about what to do after a sale Poor management- managers that shout and swear at staff. Staff turnover- I can not even count how many people that have either left or been sacked for “poor performance” Rota- they change rotas with no notice. The rota sent out never matches the calendar we book appointments on to Constant WhatsApp messages, when you mute or archive the group you are told off by management Poor customer service- takes up to an hour most days to speak to someone Management are only interested in getting a sale, no training on what to do after the sale. Upon asking for help you are told to go away or ignored. Customers call the showroom to speak to management, managers don’t want to speak to them. Often making us lie to the customer and say they are in a meeting. Customer that request a refund are often left chasing it to be done for weeks and weeks. There is no quality control- the amount of units that go out damaged is unreal. Hierarchy and management all seem to be fighting against each other. I have witnessed several managers slagging off other managers and hierarchy. It isn’t professional at all. Colleagues have made complaints about bullying that have never been taken seriously. 2 year probation period is obscene. If you aren’t a top performing sales person then you will soon be dismissed. Basic salary is very poor

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.
