      IKEA is a good place

      Pros

      Benefits are very very good. This includes medical and tuition reimbursement which is helpful if you want to go to school, because many people would like to go to school but can't really afford it. And they give you retirement money I think but I'm not sure.

      Cons

      Salary is not so good but that's why the benefits have to be good. I think it's helfpul if you are in a two income family because it would be very hard to live on the salary at IKEA.

      One of the best companies to work for if you are a soccer mom or a single parent.

      Pros

      Whenever it is necessary to have your days off, you can always talk to your manager and he/she approves it with no questions. I just took a month off from work even though I am a rookie. Flexible work schedule is also a big positive. For example, if I wake up late, no problem at all. As long as I manage my portion of work, no one will blame me. If you think you've done your part, you can even go home early. One of the best companies to work for if you are a soccer mom or a single parent.

      Cons

      Low pay, I graduated from 4 yr university with BS and have 2-3 yrs of experience from several internships during school but IKEA offered a very unreasonable pay at first. I refused it once and they raised it little bit but still I'm not satisfied. Since I am a rookie, I am planning to get a new job when it comes to my one year anniversary at IKEA. IKEA has great work life balance but the pay is really low. I've asked this questions to lots of my co-workers and all of them responded the same. If you want to work for IKEA, be ready to get a minimum pay rate.

      Pros

      IKEA is rich with opportunity and truly practices it's core values. Recognition and responsibility are encouraged and rewarded.

      Cons

      Although we look for better ways to work we are stuck in outdated auditing processes that take us away from the important issues of running the business. e.g. we are often consumed by an individual audit, rather than the everyday focus of good work.
