Pros

You don't do much, you get to B.S with every deparment, you can sit in a office all night and kick your feet up. You really don't do much.

Cons

You get a fake team leader who is a power hungry Who*e and could'nt manage herself let alone a whole team.

Pros

Can sometimes be fun especially before a store opens and everyone works together building the showrooms. You do get an employee discount.

Cons

After the initial hoo ha of a store opening they cut hours to bare bones. People hire on as full time and within 3 months are part time, working 5 hours one day, then 4 hours two days later, it makes no sense. The pay is terrible, absolutely awful and this is an extremely wealthy company.

Pros

Great benefits, others don't compare. You gain extensive knowledge on how to run your business. Lots of paid time off.

Cons

They say their vision is to create a better life for the many. They force their managers to work way too many hours. It is like you are married to IKEA and your family comes second. Yes, you get lots of vacation, but you are always bothered on your vacation. There is no real work life balance. They suck the life out of you and then spit on you when they are done. Not worth the pay or benefits.
