Pros

Strong company culture - there is a sense of pride in co-workers working in the organization. Company also has systematic procedures and processes due to its huge size. New staff can quickly settle down with a whole pallet of orientation programs catered. Very strong branding.

Cons

Downside of strong culture is that there is a risk of thinking IKEA is the centre of the universe and no one else matters.

Pros

Extremely cheap medical/dental, long-term employees really know their stuff, starts higher than minimum wage, flexible with personal life, drug-free workplace, cheap employee lunch,

Cons

Hit or miss with Team Leads/Management knowing how to manage (correct "ethics"), raises really blow (nearly impossible to get high scores on evals no matter what you do), extremely political progression, jobs highly separated by race (cashiers/returns all Black, housekeeping/restaurant all Hispanic, sales mostly Asian), Communication/Interior design department think they run the store and other management for some reason.
