Pros

For retail they do care about environment and sustainability. At its core IKEA wants to make a better life for everyone with quality low cost goods. I feel positive about having a job that is 'convincing you to buy more than you were intending' because I believe in the products.

Cons

IKEA USA recently botched a floor to ceiling corporate restructuring and stores are feeling the impact of new roles with undefined processes or methods.

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.
