Pros

Lots of respect and collaboration between management and associate workers. Great benefits, even for part time employees (including discounted meals and even sick pay). Flexible management.

Cons

Work can get repetitive, and the store is very crowded on the weekends. Expect some customers who will not be happy that IKEA's setup guides customers to walk through the whole store to get to the exit.

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.
