Pros
Very limited is the honest answer once you pass probation. The tech used by Wren is first class, the showrooms are immaculate and market leading and the academy at the head office is on another level all together. The pay as a designer is worth it.
Cons
How long can the list go ... - Long working hours - Showrooms are only entitled to 2 members of management, when 1 is on annual leave, you're instantly forced to work in excess of 70-80 hours per week with no additional benefit, pay or senior management support. - Pay in general as a manager is too little - AGM will realistically take home less than £25k. - Not enough time invested in the showroom or team as a manager because you're too busy fighting fires with endless complaints, spreadsheets, conference calls, paperwork or any other issue which doesn't warrant the pay. - No work life balance! You'll be passed from pillar to post with no regard for your physical or mental health, your own welfare, your friend or your family! Your 2 days off will be spent recovering from your week which means you're missing out on life. Also forced to work 2 weeks straight from BOXING DAY! Sometimes until 10pm, maybe even midnight if you're with a customer! Yes .... it does happen!
