Pros

The products are great and appeal to many people on many budgets. The store is new so we get a lot of customers who are also new to IKEA. I love helping them discover the amazing products.

Cons

Sometimes the work can be heavy lifting, and other times I have to get on a ladder to put up banner signs. I am over fifty and sometimes these tasks make me tired and sore.

Pros

I worked at the counter, customer service and at the Kitchen department Advising customers on planning and buying kitchens. High pay after 7pm and in the weekends In general very valued by managers, Managers that did not, were terminated eventually Very varied job relative to the education level demanded. Sympathetic company culture. Teams of non arrogant colleagues. Especially selling kitchens is a rewarding job where you can use your creativity. Starting a non-academic management career is possible here. If you are good with people you can start as a student and if you want to become a manager you can climb the ladders very well in this company, after which you will go to another company that will pay you according to the responsibility you get.

Cons

Low pay when working during the day Skilled managers are promoted away leaving newbies as the average teammanagers big organisation =>upper staff will make decision once in a while that are not understood by sales people. long term sick colleagues did not result in vacancies ==> understaffed departments for 2 years High responsibility for managers while low pay Dresscode
