Pros

- 15% discount on IKEA products for you and your dependents - Reduced price meals - Flexible hours and ease in scheduling off days at least 3 weeks in advance - Full benefits starting at 20+ hours - Occasional parties - Emphasis on community outreach and service (though, that may be reduced currently) - You don't have to take your work home with you

Cons

- No upward mobility - Culture is preached one way; practiced another - NEW hires make $1.25/hour MORE than experienced workers for the same job - Most of the good upper management got demoted; current leadership is unresponsive in solving systemic issues See "Advice to Management" for more details.

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
