Pros

benefits are great, and the salary is decent. They are a very stable company, with good working values. The managment seems to help out when it gets busy. Overall decent job

Cons

I feel that it can be difficult to advance unless you want to put yourself in any random position in the store. for example, if you spend 5 years as a kitchen designer, and thats your specialty, to move up you may have to stock plants or sell bedsheets if a managment position opens in one of those areas, typical retail. Fast paced retail, can be extremely busy at times

Pros

Flexible scheduling, health, dental, and vision benefits.,

Cons

The National Call Center in Baltimore, MD does not promote from within. Management positions are not filled from within. The only way to move forward in this company is to relocate. Any movement in you current location is a lateral move with little increase in pay. There is little structure here. When the company makes changes to processes, little thought seems to be given to how these functions will be handled. Emphasis is placed on controlling cost and doing things differently. Much less focus is given to customer satisfaction and product quality. Leadership at the call center needs to be reevaluated.

Pros

You don't want alot of hours.

Cons

When you are hired by IKEA, you are told that it is part time. Only after two days of training do they tell you that part time is nineteen hours or less in a week.
