      Pros

      Very hard to single out any pros working for this company.

      Cons

      If you want a forward thinking, empathetic lead business then Wren is not for you. A company that manages its people like it was still in the 1980s. All the bad things you have heard are true. Managers and senior leadership over promoted and under-qualified. This business has the potential to be an absolute positive game changer but its leaders haven't got the foggiest on how to look after its people or truly run a business of this magnitude, just look at the horrific labour turnover across Showrooms and Head Office. It's embarrassing for a company that is as large as it is. This is a company that will fudge any meaningful public facing data to 'appear amazing' none of it being true. That being said, within this mess of a culture there is a smattering of really good people who need to move on and find their worth in other businesses who would give them the loyalty they deserve.

      Pros

      State of the art showrooms and technology has never made designing kitchens more fluent and straight-forward. Market-leading business with innovative products and software updates bi-weekly. Family-run structure allows your voice to be really heard and you literally get back what you put in. Fantastic company to work for! Here's to my 7th year!

      Cons

      The work-life balance can sometimes be thrown a little, but as said, you get out what you put in!

      Worst place I’ve ever worked

      Pros

      Good commission but that’s it

      Cons

      Ever heard of a company docking your Money for mistakes? Well Wren do. Hardly anyone I worked with passed 2 years with the company, due to unfair dismissal law (which only come in to play after 2 years employment) Wren never allow people to work past 2 years. After being the 3rd highest seller in a showroom out of 14 designers, I was let go 1 week before i passed my 2 years with a very poor excuse. Staff turnover i believe is 70% which just shows how this business works. Senior management thrive off you being scared of them and do there up most best to strike fear in to everyone. As I mentioned if you make a mistake on a kitchen design you pay 50% of what the mistake cost the company, fair enough if your small business but wren turn over 1 billion a year. Awful environment with commission goal posts constantly changing. At one point 8 of 14 designers in our showroom were on PIPS.
