Pros

You become friends with all of the co-workers and you are able to work together to finish projects and tasks. You are well trained in your department. You will be given some responsibilities but the co-workers will always be there for guidance and opinion.

Cons

There will always be the customer that wants to blame something on you when you did nothing but try to help. It can get crazy around back to college time.

Pros

Great family and friendly environment. IKEA is a place where they implement Eco-friendly solutions with their products and try to minimize waste. Employees are well taken care of and given the proper class training and skills to perform the job right.

Cons

Same routine every single day. Takes time to move up the ladder. Breaks and lunches are shorter than most retail places.

Pros

Great discounts and line of credit for employees. Most of the staff is friendly towards each other, and there does seem to be a good amount of room to move up in the company. Also I liked the HR website it was helpful and great for tracking sick time, and personal time off.

Cons

A lot of the people working there are still fairly young and tend to gossip a lot. Sometimes the management seemed to be disorganized and unsure of how to fix problems. Very strict about hours and not going into overtime, which most retail companies do. Management also tended to play favorites with the employees whom they were friends with or were their significant other.
