Pros

Strong company culture - there is a sense of pride in co-workers working in the organization. Company also has systematic procedures and processes due to its huge size. New staff can quickly settle down with a whole pallet of orientation programs catered. Very strong branding.

Cons

Downside of strong culture is that there is a risk of thinking IKEA is the centre of the universe and no one else matters.

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.
