Pros

- breaks every two hours - coworkers are AMAZING - HR department really supports you and takes sexual assault seriously - great medical benefits

Cons

- re-organization of U.S. IKEA's took away a lot of the expertise that employees had. Now you're expected to work in any department in the store - re-organization also sees IKEA need employees to have degrees to have the better jobs in the store (in sales, management, etc.) this is NOT necessary. I learned everything on the job and had stellar reviews, all without a degree.

Pros

There are some great, inspiring, and passionate people who work there, but none of them are in leadership positions.

Cons

Leaders aren't held accountable for KPIs or poor behavior. Decisions are made by forum/committee/council, so there is no clear ownership or guidance. The Service Office/HQ leaders look down on the store and fulfillment center teams, making decisions based on assumptions rather than taking time to understand the reality on the ground.
