Pros

- friendly and also helpful co-workers - cheap meal options for staff

Cons

- your to-do lists might be endless, especially if your department is popular and if it is a weekend or holiday - expected to do, learn or remember nearly as many things as a Full Timer - flexible schedules for Part Timers do not exist here and need to be planned a month in advance - 12-13 bucks per hour is definitely not enough - although co-workers can be friendly, they rather stick with their own cliques - senior management can be rather uptight and nitpicky - incentives is barely a thing here (apparently it has been a year since the last incentive was given) since the sales needed for that is practically impossible with the decline of ikea (look at the news for the past two years) - location can be rather remote for most - tech stuff regarding online access to anything is such a hassle even my higher ups were complaining about it - too much workshops or trainings (offline/online) which I find rather unnecessary or outright useless in my opinion for Part Timers

Pros

The company provides good exposure to design projects and gives designers the opportunity to work with different teams. It is a good environment to improve technical skills, understand project coordination, and learn more about design documentation. The team is generally professional, and the work can be a good experience for someone who wants to grow in architectural or interior design.

Cons

The workload can sometimes be busy, especially when deadlines are tight. More clear communication about priorities, project timelines, and expectations would help the design team work more efficiently.

Pros

Great benefits, Interesting people, diverse work enviroment.

Cons

Micromanaged on site roles, minimal support for employee needs, talk of growth but few real opportunities, many interpersonal agendas and politics. too many managers, too few workers. Most people don't know what is required of them, be they managers or subordinates.
