Pros

The potential of earning big commission Design/Kitchen training

Cons

Managers actively choose experienced designers to serve customers who are "more likely" to buy a kitchen, so even if you were after those customers, you don't get a chance to design before you consult with the managers. - Favouritism The feeling of being watched the WHOLE time on cctv, even at training at HQ. Over employing staff for the busy Christmas period, which led to customers being spoke to 5 times by different people whilst they are shopping = dog eat dog world You are expected to work 16 days in a row, yes, no days off for Boxing day sales, 12 hours each day. Pressure on a higher level. Low pay if you don't earn commission, and not many holidays if you are part time (even 34 hours contracted)

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!
