Wren Kitchens reviews

One day you have a job, the next day you don't and you probably won't get a clear reason as to why. The CEO seemingly has little or no idea what is going on in his own company. Staff are treated like commodities. Unfortunately there is a culture of complacency, ineptitude and fickleness that seems to be present at the higher levels of the business. For a company owned and operated under the watchful eyes of supposedly successful businessmen there is a huge amount of inconsistency and a massive amount of money wasted, from half-cocked campaigns to incredible stock deficits. Poor communication, an inherent lack of understanding and minimal levels of awareness between departments in terms of operations and creative practices impacting on the efficient development, execution and delivery of internal projects. Colleagues from different departments end up in cliques, naturally this will happen in most workplaces with a large number of staff, however there are few opportunities for staff to engage with one another in social settings. There is also an element of fear as the staff turnover is notoriously high with colleagues being served their notices on an unsettling regular basis for some ludicrous reasons. The toughest challenge at Wren is simply keeping on top of last minute requests and second-guessing the poor quality of communications, the lack of clarity or the contradictory nature of requests. A startling lack of logic and the rare application of foresight make for an incredibly challenging experience.

Employed 2012 - 2014. Long hours. Business mobile that you must answer at all times. Black and white, boring uniform. Lied about paying staff a quarterly bonus. So much pressure and so may threats. Everybody is expendable. Lack of training for people who are new to the kitchen industry, I've been designing for years so luckily I saw through the lies. I was ashamed to sell their kitchens. Missing parts, damaged doors. Absolute rubbish turning up on delivery. Customers crying and yelling at you, understandably with how frustrating things were for them. Getting any help from higher up or customer services was like getting blood out of a stone. Issues went on for months. It was soul destroying. It's bully tactics. When I found a suitable new employer I handed in my notice. But I didn't end up working my notice. I left the same morning. I've never looked back. They still owe me and many others money. They care about nothing but lining their pockets. Close them down.
