Pros

Great benefits package. Medical, vision, dental, 401K, and tuition reimbursement.

Cons

IKEA works with suppliers all over the world. At times items that are more popular sell out very quickly once released and new supply can be slow in coming. This often frustrates our customers and they are not shy in telling us so. Quite a bit of time is spent defending the company to our customers rather than helping them. Most of the emphasis is given to the brick and mortar stores which makes our customer base limited. Internet and catalog shopping is limited.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
