Pros

Great benefits when you consider the price.

Cons

When IKEA hires management externally, they do not provide adequate training on the "IKEA" way. If you send a manager to train in a position who is brand new to the company, they are learning how to run the equipment, not how to be an IKEA manager. If the person has any retail management experience at all, they assume that you can handle all of IKEA's nonsense, like having to share a stapler and not actually being a manager.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
