Pros

I really liked the people I met there. IKEA has a tendency to attract all kinds of people, so my team was always diverse and fun. The benefits were good, too.

Cons

They changed the work structure of the selling co-workers. You used to be hired per department (sofas, beds, etc.), but they changed it last year so that you would rotate to different parts and learn the whole store. It sounds cool in concept, but it's pretty overwhelming and sometimes frustrating to feel like you are an expert in area, and yet spend all your time selling things you aren't familiar with. You also lose the camaraderie you have with your team, when you spend hours wandering around the store by yourself, trying to pick up on things on your own because staff is spread too thin to get you a qualified trainer.

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
