Pros

There are so many ways I feel valued at IKEA. I have been awarded Manager recognition after being nominated by co-workers throughout the store. I have been called out with words of thanks on our "Thank You" board. I have been personally thanked many times by me direct managers as well as the Store Manager. I have been thanked by those who work beneath my leadership. And most importantly, I have been thanked by the customers in the store. Value - priceless.

Cons

As in any business, it is easy to get caught up in the day to day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture - our vision. While juggling multiple balls, it is sometimes hard to thank ourselves for a job well done. I love IKEA because they bring me back to center over and over and over again.

Pros

- 15% discount on IKEA products for you and your dependents - Reduced price meals - Flexible hours and ease in scheduling off days at least 3 weeks in advance - Full benefits starting at 20+ hours - Occasional parties - Emphasis on community outreach and service (though, that may be reduced currently) - You don't have to take your work home with you

Cons

- No upward mobility - Culture is preached one way; practiced another - NEW hires make $1.25/hour MORE than experienced workers for the same job - Most of the good upper management got demoted; current leadership is unresponsive in solving systemic issues See "Advice to Management" for more details.
