Pros

It is fun to go around the store sorting out the misplaced products, soak in the creative atmosphere, watch people behavior, engage in working politics, make friends with unlikely people, listen to stories of colleagues who have seen all types of customers. Nice to give people a satisfactory shopping experience.

Cons

Difficult customers from time to time makes the job unpleasant, as they ruin the original intention of working here, which is to meet all types of interesting people.

Pros

No pros what so ever with IKEA Tottenham.

Cons

No bonus scheme No flexibility in shifts Very strict in requirements Low levels of professionalism among senior staff Break times are often abused, and not monitored for fairness and equality The senior management team are seen as fairly distant to the majority workforce Heavy handed favouritism is common on a daily basis Staff are not able to question or challenge a decision, but to simply 'follow orders' Managers are constantly changed around and theres no chance for managers to get to know their team IKEA Tottenham has nothing in place for development or training No learning and development opportunities at all Some managers can be seen as racist, and always talk in their own language with other managers around their associates HR department in IKEA Tottenham is practically non existent. Existing staff there now are clueless, misguided, and judgmental. Poor decision making by them leading to many complaints. Clearly visible are low levels of commitment, determination, and general intelligence in HR
