IKEA reviews

They are obsessed with thinking that they provide such amazing benefits that they can pay horribly. 10 years ago maybe they did but now they are just in par with other big box benefits. The upper level "decision makers" are obsessed with hitting goal so much that they cut hours to save money then get pissed when customers complain that checkout lines are to long, and they can't find anyone to help them, and the store is a disaster. But refuse to go on the floor to help. The company is a mirage they brow beat into you the 7 ideas that the founder ran the company by, that sound great on paper and people drink the kool-aid by the bucket, however the upper level does not care one bit about the coworkers or the customers until there is an issue then they jump in with suggestions that are so far gone they don't make sense, similar to the goals they set which are so high and unreachable we will never hit goal to get our bonus, but they still get bonus for revenue goals to bottom line savings. So many I don't know where to go next

No job security. Always cost cutting as much as they can. The company prefers hiring contractors and often let go of permanent employees once projects end, rather than reallocating them to other projects. The workforce is mainly senior-age employees. Managers do not want new changes in innovation and technology, just want to stick to "tradition". What you should do is "do as you are told", no opinions. This approach seems consistent with the brand's long-standing direction. I think if you are a young person, working here for long time will make you lose the competitiveness while the world out there keep changing everyday.
