Pros

Products can be an affordable way to achieve a 'look', but must be mixed or utilized well to avoid screaming "IKEA". Products can be found worldwide; kitchens have a great reputation.

Cons

The store I worked at, in my department, was full of gossip, insider connections, hidden rules... No real chance of advancement per the double faced attitude of my manager. Promises of a 3 month review and salary raise, none of which were given. My own performance review at 12 months was continually put of by my manager. Training promised was never given. Store full of 'unwritten' rules, etc., etc. No respect was given me or my prior experience. I was hired to be set up and demoralized. I had loved the company for so many years prior o working there & none of my hard work, experieince, innovations were ever appreciated nor aknowledged; in fact, they were denigrated.
