Pros

Benefits are outstanding and the people you work with directly are good natured. If your career started with IKEA you have potential for growth.

Cons

Leadership is so consensus driven it stalls progress. Ideas can be left for months without answers, follow-up or requests to have discussions around the topic. If you have not worked in an IKEA store with a number of years of service you have no opportunity for true growth, No matter how many years in retail and at what level of responsibility you bring to the company.
