Pros

I enjoyed the people i worked with and made some great friends.

Cons

Honestly where do i start.. Firstly the reviews on here are fake and made to look like it’s a great place to work. Don’t even waste your time applying here and i’ll explain why. A lot of us just got let go without warning from the directors due to ‘protection of the company’ a company that make billions a year. Every showroom has their favourite designers so if you’re new, you do not stand a chance. Management have complete control over lead allocation, you will book a customer in for a design appointment and management will take it straight off ya and give it to the top. The showrooms are FULL of gossip, people will talk about you behind your back, management will bully you, the top designers that have been their years WILL steal your appointments and WILL stab you in the back to do anything they can to put a sale through. Targets are ridiculous, you will work every weekend and have a team brief on the weekend where the managers will just belittle you and tell you you’re not good enough and you need to sell more, you need to book more appointments, you are never good enough. The turnover is so high due to directors constantly sacking designers and designers just leaving due to how bad it is to work here. You will go home constantly worrying if you’re going to have a job tomorrow if you don’t sell soon. Managers will go to meetings every month with the directors where they can see everything you’re doing. The directors have sacked a lot of designers at these meetings due to very little mistakes ‘get rid of them’ they say and then you’re out. Honestly you will go home with worry, constantly thinking about work, targets.. & everyday you will be wondering if you will still have your job tomorrow if you don’t sell soon just a terrible terrible place to work, it is not worth it and if i can stop someone from going through the struggle i went though by working here i will.. do not work for a company and give them £500-£800K a year from all your hard work and it really is hard work even trying to get to that much in a year, for them to treat you like rubbish constantly.

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!

Disorganized. Everything is an emergency. If new emergency comes up forget last emergency till after current emergency is taken care of.
