Pros

Ikea has great opportunities, and they are available to those who pursue them aggressively. Anyone who want to be a store decorator and wants to travel globally on the company should definitely consider a career with Ikea. Pay is better than most retailers, and Ikea has a secure business model.

Cons

If you are not willing to relocate, career growth opportunities will be very limited. Internal turnover in good store jobs is very limited, so patience is required to get the job you want. Most jobs in the store are part time. It's very high volume retail, so the work environment is stressfull. Pay raises are minimal, you need to advance to get paid.

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
