- Working every single weekend and bank holiday
- Long hours which cut into any form of social life
- Rotten business culture from head office, they want you to always know they have control over you, your pay and job stability
- Designers are seen as scapegoats for 'errors' and made to pay out of commission. Free issue system takes large chunks of pay from designer commission
- High commission threshold, which goes up with minimum wage increase so you see no real pay rise.
- Constant fear within job security
- A week's training in head office where you do not actually learn much about the role. You hear stories of how they monitor your hotel rooms - an utterly demoralising week to welcome you to the business.
- Head office are ruthless, they say people buy from people. Wren need to understand that people buy from companies who treat their employees with dignity
- Zero benefits for maternity/paternity many female employees in the showroom saving to have children as Wren have zero benefits
- Cameras in the showroom monitoring your every move
- Micro management to the max as the company is not performing as well during the cost of living crisis
- Overworked staff at head office you can sense when communicating with them
