Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid work schedule

Cons

Can’t speak on IKEA retail, but corporate is a joke. Managers are passive aggressive and micro-managers. Managers talk down to older, POC employees, treating them like they’re incompetent when they’re more experienced and knowledgeable than the manager. No wonder they have so many lawsuits against them. Caused serious physical and mental health issues for me during my time there. HR is useless, you report anything to them and they don’t care at all. It’s a shame of a company. Don’t work here, would give negative stars if I could.

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.
