Pros

Working at Wren over the past year has been a huge learning curve. By joining a growing department I have been lucky enough to take on numerous responsibilities, which have all helped in growing my experience. It’s so great to work for a company that invest so heavily in the development of their staff, as you know you will be looked after and given opportunities should you strive for them. Things are changing all the time, as the company is still relatively young, which means there is so much room for growing your own career, whichever department you're in. The support is there as and when you need it, with great co-workers who all share them same drive for success.

Cons

In a busy department like marketing it can mean taking on extra responsibilities and working extra hours at the drop of a hat - but that's to be expected with the role, and what makes it exciting!

Pros

The culture at Wren is unlike anywhere else I’ve ever worked. The staff all share a contagious passion and ambition which will take us to the highest level. Everyone who works here has such belief in the company, and rightly so because we have everything going for ourselves: the best quality; all kitchens are manufactured by us here in the UK, which in turn allows us to offer the best prices because we cut out the middleman. We have the best showrooms, with the largest range of kitchens in the UK and plenty of investment to keep them looking the best. We’re only five years old and have experienced rapid growth, and this year we are seeing a lot of new appointments to help make the business a lot more organised which is just what we were missing! New roles are opening up everywhere and there are so many opportunities to grow and develop.

Cons

We need extra resources in some areas, but we are expanding so quickly and I know that this will be resolved soon!

Pros

Wages if you actually get paid correctly which is rare

Cons

poor management, wages were never paid correctly, staff do not work as a team (attracts very selfish people), Store manager only works part time hours. Things started out great working for Wren, with their shiny showrooms and friendly staff. In my first month selling I finished 2nd in the store and 6th in my area for sales. Unfortunately before that month was over I had a car crash and was injured. I was told by the store manager not to worry my job is safe. They will find me other duties instead of sales. This is where everything started to go wrong. The customer service for Wren is non existent I found myself dealing with customers from a year ago that no one had bothered with. During my time I had to arrange for a new sink for a customer this got stolen within 3 days, 2 days later I was getting verbal and physical abuse from a customer due to the same person who stole the sink hadn't turned up for 3 appointments with them. Again the same designer changed delivery for one of my customers without telling the, by the time I noticed (I was constantly tied up with everyone's customer service issues training staff that just didn't get how to use a computer repairing parts on the showroom, sourcing various items for customers that had either been skipped or stolen) it was too late to change the delivery back. Of course complaining about this to management would just fall on deaf ears. Which isn't surprising when they mean about lateness but quite often come in 3 hours late themselves, or spend time crying for no reason. Oh and to top it all off I was paid incorrectly on the last pay packet before Christmas. I even witnessed someone getting stapled with a staple gun in the toe and nothing being done about it because 'the guy can sell'. I have never worked for such a disorganised, unscrupulous company in my life. I will not be recommending anyone works here or buys from here in the future.
