Pros

The IKEA culture, if executed correctly is excellent. The business allows for you to move easily between positions, be it in store or to a different country. An emphasises on training to improve is also excellent.

Cons

No bonus scheme, salary for managers not competitive enough. IKEA Food Commercial managers are paid less than sales managers, despite a legal obligation for food safety, as well as managing a larger number of co-workers than sales departments.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
