Pros

Hours are good for family life. The pay is typical to other jobs doing the same thing. The work is hard but no customers to be in the way. Discount so a plus at 15% Uniforms are better than the yellow foot locker shirts the rest of the store wears.

Cons

Poor management from team leaders. I haven't learned anything from them. Everything I know was from other coworkers or trial and error. They are all talk and no action. The only manager that will do anything is inflow manager and supply manager. The problem is they are not with us all the time so they don't know what is really happening when no one is watching. They seem to care about people and wanting to make things better for the many and they listen and treat people fairly. No benefits for part time anymore.

Pros

Good pay depending on department. Break rooms were nice. Three dollar lunches, but in reality the food is mostly horrible. Some cool people work there. Tuition reimbursement for students - lots of red tape here and you're basically required to work every weekend. Paid vacation time.

Cons

Management is clueless as to what happens on the floor. All they see are the numbers. Hours are horrible and unfair, especially to younger employees. Expect to work an hour to an hour and a half after close every Friday, Saturday and Sunday of your life while the old people work mid-shifts and get weekends off frequently. The lifers are just weird. If you're a college student - don't get stuck here. I spent much of my college career at IKEA because they offered good pay and a tuition reimbursement, but looking back I wish I had reached out and found an intern.
