IKEA reviews

Most of the managers in the South Philadelphia store that I worked with were incompetent and lacked the self-awareness to realize they could do far better-- instead shifting blame onto their already stressed employees (everyone I worked with was looking for a new job at one point, some quit without having another lined up-- it was that bad.) They don't put in the time to know who does a good job and who doesn't so the result is that they micro-manage everybody. Specific job training was pathetic and laughable-- you basically learned everything from coworkers until management gave you a hard time for not doing something you didn't know about. The communication was terrible, because only rarely would they relay their expectations. Even employees who did everything right were still getting berated at the end of the shift. Managers consistently talked down to employees and that's why I left and will never go back. Shame on them.

With a growing company it seems to get more and more difficult to live up to the values and some individuals can make the difference between a great experience and mediocre experience.
