Pros
It's an exciting time to work for Wren, with new Showrooms opening throughout the UK this year. Not many companies can boast of being in a position to open so many expensive new premises, and this is due to the fantastic direction the company is heading in. Opportunities for progression are on the horizon, and working here certainly makes me want to be a big part of the future of the company. Being a UK company that manufactures all it own products in the UK speaks volumes about the ethos here. We believe in our proposition and the execution of our vision is tireless. Not only will the company be opening new Showrooms in 2015, but existing Showrooms will be re-vamped to accomodate the great new Bathroom and Furniture ranges. Wren really will be a one stop shop for the UK home improvement enthusiasts, under one roof you will be able to find everything you need to make your dream home. For me that is a massive benefit of working for such an exciting company, who want to move forward and build a strong brand that people know and can trust. The company have invested heavily in the product development, the 3D planning software we use and the overall structure of how we run as a company. Constantly seeking feedback on how we can improve from the people who can implement the changes on a daily basis, the employees. Whether it be our delivery drivers, our factory managers or the designer in store, we are all encouraged to have a say in what matters. I have worked for many established companies in the past, who make decisions on their operations based on what "research" tells them. At Wren your opinion and ideas are valued, and where possible implemented. Ultimately working here makes you feel part of "something bigger", which sounds cliché, but when you see all of our factories here in the UK and you go and visit a customer after their new kitchen has been fitted it really fills you with pride.
Cons
I can honestly say that I can't think of anything negative, of course there are bad days as with any job. The only thing holding us back is the number of people that don't know about us and what we can offer, however the reason for this is to make sure our expansion is steady and manageable and we can maintain high standards.
