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

Pros

+Pay: Minimum pay was raised to 15$ company wide which is both a pro and con; lower level employees saw a decent bump while higher level employees saw next to nothing +Culture/Values: Very inclusive, understanding and accommodating to personal and medical issues +Benefits: Great medical/dental/vision, lengthy vacation/sick time, LoA's available for medical or personal reasons, Christmas gifts, HL2's eligible for certain benefits, possible year end bonus (company-wide performance based)

Cons

+Pay: I know I put this twice but it's a double edged sword - it seems good at first until you realize you're often working way harder than what they're paying you to do (management issues) +Management: Honestly awful. Managers spend most of their time talking about work rather than doing anything, either in meetings or at their desks. When they do hit the floor it's to give contradictory input on how to do your job before disappearing again. Far too many cooks in this kitchen and none of them know how to cook +Minimal growth: Hard to move past regular co-worker status +Unstable: Company likes to restructure a lot which often results in employees leaving or losing their job +Scheduling: Very few positions have a set schedule meaning you're at the whim of management each week

Pros

Benefits, hours, coworkers, & pto

Cons

Management is a joke. Not one manager is qualified for their role. How can you be an Interior Design Manager without spending one single second in a single Interior Design course and ZERO previous design experience!!??
