Pros

- FREE IKEA uniforms!!! (including polo shirts, sweatshirts, fleece jackets etc.) - Staff meal for $3 including soup, salad, beverage, and entree. - Part-time benefits (15% co-worker discount, 401k w/ company match, Win-Win annual co-worker bonus, health, vision, dental insurance) - Very laid back - Extremely flexible w/ time-off requests w/ at least 3 weeks advance notice

Cons

- IKEA uniforms tend to wear out, fade out, and tear very easily (sometimes after 1 wash) - Customers ask silly questions (e.g. "Hi! Do you work here?", "Can I ask you a question?") - Have to be standing for most, if not the entire shift

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
