Wren Kitchens Great Place to Work and Amazing Benefit !!!!
Kitchen Designer/Sales (Current Employee) - Rushden, Northamptonshire - 29 March 2022
Featured review
Wren Kitchens selected this as a representative reviewI 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

31 March 2022Thanks for taking the time to leave this 5 star review with some great feedback, we're delighted to hear you are enjoying your time with us!
Needs sorted out in places
Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Larkhall, South Lanarkshire - 20 May 2022
Good money and holiday time off. Probably the best job for holidays as you get 2 weeks off Christmas and New year. Certain aspects need overhauled though.

- Trust in colleagues
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!

Jobs at Wren Kitchens
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

Productive
Kitchen Designer (Current Employee) - Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire - 11 May 2022
The type of place where if you work hard and keep yourself busy you can really succeed. Intensive training to help set you up for your role. Nice employees that are all friendly and easy to get along with.

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
