Pros

Having moved from job to job every 2 years or so previously, I have now been working for Wren for nearly 6 years, which I feel speaks for itself. I was taken on as a Kitchen Designer 6 years ago with no knowledge of the kitchen or sales industry. I worked hard to learn the industry and through various promotions over the years, I am now a showroom manager and I have been running my own showroom for nearly 4 years with a view to enrolling on regional manager development in the near future. I have read a lot of bad reviews on here from ex-employees which paint Wren in a bad light (mostly under 1yr of service). It is a rapidly expanding business and the reason for its success is down to retaining and developing the right people. I have personally seen this company grow from 18 stores to the 61 we have today and can honestly say that the potential as an employee is down to how hard you are prepared to work and the results that you achieve. As long as I continue to be rewarded with career progression and excellent rates of pay, I couldn't see myself working anywhere else.

Cons

As with any retail business, the hours can be unsociable with having to work weekends and bank holidays, but if you are keen to earn good money, than why wouldn't you want to be in on the busiest retail days? It can be intensive and hard work, so if you are looking to rock up to a job where you can sit back and relax, then Wren probably isn't the right place for you. On the flip side, if you are prepared to put in the time and effort and prove yourself, then you will be rewarded with career progression, development and the best pay in the industry.
