Pros

•Warm, comfortable offices •Tea ladies are genuinely lovely •Cheap, convenient canteen lunches •Sociable environment if you are younger, plenty of people around your age •Part time flexibility (this worked well for me) •Quarterly bonuses exist and some discretion is sometimes applied when targets are clearly unrealistic

Cons

•Disorganised structure in Customer Service, frequent changes to roles and reporting lines •High staff turnover, and it is easy to see why •Management instability, managers moved around often, sometimes demoted •Culture feels heavily stats driven and one size fits all, even when roles are different •Targets and review scoring can be inconsistent, managers may acknowledge targets are not realistic but you are still marked down officially •Harsh approach to sickness absence in my experience, even when illness is genuine and evidence is available •Poor communication after dismissal, told you can get in touch but then no reply (even after a month)

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!
