Pros

You can make 60-70k by doing the most soul destroying work possible.

Cons

I spent just shy of two years in the Cambridge store - I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Managed by an individual who perfectly perpetrates the company they work for, dishonest, lacklustre and soulless. This is the kind of job I’d urge any young individual to stay as far away from as possible. It opens no doors to any other sales roles - every other future company will assume your leads are handed to you and you’ll have to fight at interview stage to prove your worth. No weekends off, despite what they say. They try and trick you with contracts. Rest of the country gets an increase in minimum wage - not Wren, they’ll figure out a way to ensure you lose. Managed from the top down by plebs. Even the CEO looked like he’d been given a “job for the boys” if you catch my drift (nepotism runs rife). Good luck dealing with crying customers that their doors have expanded after 2 years - I sleep infinitely better now I don’t feel like I coerce people out of their hard earned savings.

Pros

I’ve been with Wren Kitchens for about a year now, and my experience has been nothing but positive. The company continues to grow and expand, which creates great opportunities to learn new things and develop professionally. The environment is very collaborative and supportive. There’s a great balance of autonomy in your role while still having the support of teammates and management when needed. My manager has been especially great at providing coaching, guidance, and encouragement that has helped me continue to grow in my role. The benefits are also very competitive, and I really appreciate that there are multiple options available so you can choose the plans that best suit your lifestyle and needs. The PTO offering is competitive as well, which makes it easier to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Overall, it’s been a rewarding experience working for a company that values development, teamwork, and continued growth.

Cons

None that I can think of!
