Pros

Benefits are really good- medical, dental, optical, pet insurance, 401K and other benefits few will utilize but are available.

Cons

Restructuring of business to be "customer concentric"- they have forgotten to fix their problems first. Such as advocating for the employees, so in turn they can be ambassadors for the brand. Management is lacking in true management skills and favoritism plays a major part in promotions and acknowledgements. Original "values" Ingvar Kamprad wanted for his company are seriously lacking and ignored. Work life balance is seriously lacking for many.

Pros

free parking, in-house restaurant, cafeteria, lockers, free uniform, decent starting wage , cool products, breaks

Cons

Negativity, favoritism, a us-against-them mentality, use you when they need you, no positive feedback from management, and gossip. Most training comes from asking coworkers and not from management actually training you.
