IKEA reviews

Management is rude, upper management doesn’t know what’s going on, it’s a toxic waste land, Human Resources does not administer policies consistently, the running joke is it all depends on the head hr lady’s mood that day on whether or not you get written up or not, management group from what I can see isn’t treated as well as hourly co-workers, hourly go-workers get lots of extra incentives while management just gets pushed harder

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.
