I have been working at Wren kitchens now for the last 6 Months, Everyday is amazing, My Management and colleagues are truly an exceptional Team and have made me feel very welcomed and everybody is also looking out for each other with help and guidance. Wrens payment structure is probably the best i have seen throughout my career, 3.6% commission on top of a basic salary, average commission is paid on Annual leave. From the get go when you start at Wren you are put onto a Training Scheme which gives you all the knowledge and skills to become a Kitchen Designer. Would 100% Recommend Wren as a company to work for.

Pros

Great Pay

Cons

None

A great place to progress

Training Manager (Current Employee) - Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire - 18 May 2022

I'm lucky to work with a fantastic team. There is always a new challenge to get involved with and plenty of support on hand to help me succeed. We have some of the best technology available to us. Our head office is far better than any other I've worked at. We have everything from 2 amazing canteens to an on site gym and even a lake which we can walk around on our breaks. The business never stands still which means there are always new opportunities.

Pros

Amazing offices, fantastic canteen, gym on site.

Machine opperater

Machine Operator (Current Employee) - Scunthorpe - 18 May 2022

Always undervalued and you never have control over private life and work life, they continues change the shifts and they put it down to like it or lump it attitude

Always something new!

Administrator (Current Employee) - Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire - 18 May 2022

Each day with Wren is different, the tasks varied and a new challenge presenting itself. Management within Head Office is great, and always gives you the oppurtunity to thrive and sort out problems on your own with the knowledge that they will back you up if needed.Team members get on well together and there's a real sense of comradiere within groups.

Pros

Lunch, Hours, Challenges

Cons

Salary

Great workplace - lots of benefits!

Training (Current Employee) - Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire - 18 May 2022

I have been working at Wren for over 6 months and have already been given so many opportunities to grow into my role - including a promotion! The work environment is very stimulating and the team is really friendly and motivating. Wren offer some great benefits particularly the free gym. I look forward to seeing how my career pans out with the company!

Excellent training program

Kitchen Designer (Current Employee) - Tunbridge Wells, Kent - 16 May 2022

Really good induction process, lots of information from the start but all relevant and allows you to quickly adapt to the role. A very rewarding environment for the right people who work hard, have great customer service and have an eye for detail.

Great trainning and great support

Kitchen Designer (Current Employee) - Croydon, Greater London - 16 May 2022

The training Wren provided is fantastic. Colleagues in Croydon store is very helpful and supportive. I didn't pass the Plan test in the Nest and being allowed extra time to practice planning in the store. Now I really wish I will pass the planning test and really looking forward to start to selling.

Nice benefits, but poor IT worflow

Software Test Analyst (Former Employee) - Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire - 12 May 2022

BA change requests were poorly written and badly formatted, somehow both missing vital information and providing irrelevant details.Management uninterested in improving processes. Documentation is haphazard at best.

Hgv driver

HGV Driver (Current Employee) - Manchester - 11 May 2022

Expected to go for your own box from another depot if it doesn't arrive overnight which adds 3-4 hours on to your day and they don't care if you don't see your family. Absolutely no work life balance. And no extra pay for working Saturdays.

Pros

Not many

Cons

Hard graft

Avoid at all costs

HGV Class 2 Driver (Former Employee) - Bristol - 11 May 2022

Definitely the most disorganized place I have ever worked, they don't have a clue what's going on. The lorry was loaded back to front most days, resulting in 15 hour shifts, sometimes even longer

Avoid at all costs!!!!!!

Transport Supervisor (Former Employee) - Avonmouth, Bristol - 10 May 2022

The pay is higher than a lot of places but the hours you are expected to work are less than minimum wage, management do nothing but lie to make themselves look good. Whatever you do avoid this company at all costs!!!!

Over worked

HGV Class 2 Driver (Former Employee) - Bishop's Stortford - 9 May 2022

Company thinks more about it’s representation rather than look after or out for their workers, they will screw over the worker rather than stick up for them and comstantly hand you warning notes over very tirvial things and always try to find fault in drivers

Pros

No pros

Cons

Long hours sometimes

Good pay

Kitchen Sales Designer (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 7 May 2022

Good showroom, hours can be long however, it’s very stressful depending which showrooms your in. London ones are a nightmare. And wren loves making money from designers with free issues
