Pros

Benefits are outstanding and the people you work with directly are good natured. If your career started with IKEA you have potential for growth.

Cons

Leadership is so consensus driven it stalls progress. Ideas can be left for months without answers, follow-up or requests to have discussions around the topic. If you have not worked in an IKEA store with a number of years of service you have no opportunity for true growth, No matter how many years in retail and at what level of responsibility you bring to the company.

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
