Wren Kitchens - South coast region
Pros
I've worked for Wren for 3 and half years and I can safely say I haven't once regretted my decision to become part of the wren family. My main reason for joining the company was to give myself the opportunity to build a career with a clear development path. I joined the business as an assistant manager and within 2 years I was entrusted with my own showroom, this was only achieved by the commitment and trust shown by my regional (south coast) and divisional managers (south division). My time as a GM hasn't been easy however I've had unbelievably support and encouragement over the past year. I honestly couldn't ask for a better manager to work for on both a professional and personal level. Obviously everyone comes to work to earn money and the Wren package is just like it's product..... Market leading. I've worked with other kitchen companies and nothing comes close to the Wren salary package. When you look at the uncapped earnings, promotional bonuses and end of year bonus you will understand why Wren expect results and dedication. I personally think the long hours and pressure is a small ask when you look at your P60.
Cons
Wren is a sales environment and in any sales roll there is an expectation to deliver. To deliver these targets will take long hours and hard work. You are heavily targeted around your KPI performance and if you aren't at the required level you will be challenged (rightly so!). In the south this challenge isn't a beating but a combination of regularly reviews and training courses. You will find you work hard for your manager and not because of them!
