Pros

I have worked as a Kitchen Designer with Wren Kitchens since July 2016. I went for the interview having next to no knowledge or experience of the kitchen industry and found the thought of working here extremely daunting. If truth be told my thought process at this stage was to go for the interview and see what materialised. Being the main breadwinner with a mortgage, wife and 2 young children as well as having a job that paid relatively well, I enjoyed and that provided me with a company car was going to be a huge gamble to leave. The advice I was receiving from friends and family was to not take the gamble and move into the unknown, how wrong they all were. I had faith in an ex colleague of mine who had been a designer for 9 months and who was more passionate in this role than she had ever been when we worked together before (this in itself was a miracle as she was so passionate about her prior job) On her advice along with the professionalism of the management and obvious positive ambience in the showroom I decided to accept the job offer and have never looked back. The perception of a cutthroat sales mentality was non-existant and my colleagues were and are friendly, helpful and encouraging. The owner's passion for the product, the customers and his employee's was and is a breath of fresh air and I look forward to come into work every day.

Cons

None that spring to mind.

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!
