Pros

Okay pay, not too taxing

Cons

No work life balance, terrible shifts, most of them you'll have to work till 8pm. Always working weekends. No flexibility or consideration for people's commitments outside work which negatively affects people with responsibilities - mothers, carers, anyone who might need a weekend or holiday off. Majority of management are men which is probably why NO bathroom breaks are factored in for female surveyors - you will get harassed by admin if you stop at your own house for 5 minutes to pee! Lots of restrictions on when and how much holiday you can take - has to be a certain number of days each quarter and can't be more or less. High targets to make sure you never meet KPIs to get your full bonus as well. Plus they run a competition in your training weeks for whoever writes the best review, I'm pretty sure you win a gift voucher? So don't believe the positive reviews as they've basically been bribed You'll also be tracked every minute of the day and expected to fill in time sheets to account for your every 15 minutes. No trust and no privacy.

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!

Pros

Strong opportunity to learn and retain role-specific knowledge. Hands on experience with Salesforce (CRM). Encouraged to troubleshoot and resolve issues independently without over reliance on support. Coworkers are consistently helpful and collaborative within departments. Team culture is supportive and driven to help each other succeed. Customer service processes within the call center are generally well structured. Company provides the necessary tools and supplies to do the job.

Cons

Role requires constant attention to detail, which can be mentally taxing. In some cases, answers for client inquiries require escalation, delaying resolution. Cross department communication and processes outside of the call center can be unclear or inconsistent. Certain policies add extra steps that slow down issue resolution for customers. Pay is acceptable but could be more competitive for the level of responsibility. Fixed schedule (9:00–5:30) offers limited flexibility.
