      It's okay if you're in retail

      Active selling co-worker
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health care is great. Good company sustainability wise.

      Cons

      Recent overhaul of management system and job processes. Shifted focus completely to the customer at the expense of coworkers. No room for moving up- unless someone physically leaves the store there aren't management positions.

      The Most Fun I've had in a Job

      Interior designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work felt like play to me because I love design and furniture. They have restructured the Communication and Interior Design Dept. since I left, but I was in charge of designing and mantaining the room sets, and work in collaboration with the Sales dept. Benefits are great. My coworkers who had babies while working there said all they spent at the hospital was $300 for the delivery. You also have the opportunity to travel to other IKEA's overseas or domestically (expenses paid) to help with the buildups of new stores.

      Cons

      The pay is not great, and you have to help the Sales dept. on the floor during big holidays (Black Friday etc...) even though you are not in the Sales dept.

      Great culture, poor management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      +Pay: Minimum pay was raised to 15$ company wide which is both a pro and con; lower level employees saw a decent bump while higher level employees saw next to nothing +Culture/Values: Very inclusive, understanding and accommodating to personal and medical issues +Benefits: Great medical/dental/vision, lengthy vacation/sick time, LoA's available for medical or personal reasons, Christmas gifts, HL2's eligible for certain benefits, possible year end bonus (company-wide performance based)

      Cons

      +Pay: I know I put this twice but it's a double edged sword - it seems good at first until you realize you're often working way harder than what they're paying you to do (management issues) +Management: Honestly awful. Managers spend most of their time talking about work rather than doing anything, either in meetings or at their desks. When they do hit the floor it's to give contradictory input on how to do your job before disappearing again. Far too many cooks in this kitchen and none of them know how to cook +Minimal growth: Hard to move past regular co-worker status +Unstable: Company likes to restructure a lot which often results in employees leaving or losing their job +Scheduling: Very few positions have a set schedule meaning you're at the whim of management each week
