Business Outlook
Pros
Higher pay for food service, pto for part time workers (3 weeks per year) Amazing HR, they will work with you and identify your strengths and weaknesses. Good communication between managers and coworkers, there's little sense of entitlement and hierarchy. A break every 2 hours and company lunch program is amazing. Best job I had in college. EVERYONE, FROM STORE MANAGER TO THE JANITOR IS CONSIDERED AN IKEA CO-WORKER. IT'S LIKE A SOCIALIST PARADISE, BENEFITS MAKE UP FOR LOW PAY
Cons
Pay and hours. But it's retail. Ikea could do a better job at explaining its organization to first time customers. More customer ambassadors to help new shoppers?
