Pros

Fun and creative job, especially if you are fresh out of school. All of the coworkers were very friendly and helpful. I love the hours, (7am to 3pm with a 30 min lunch) it allowed to have a good work/life balance. The company is environmentally friendly. All in all, I had a great experience working at Ikea.

Cons

Its retail, so there aren't many paid holidays off. Management was lacking on the correct training. I feel that the management was never trained the correct way. Anytime you had questions, non-one knew what was correct answer.
