It's been a great experience... I like that the managers for the most part are pretty transparent. - Anonymous employee IKEA Employee Review

Pros

The benefits are awesome. Great insurance and paid time off. IKEA really believes in their culture and values and offers a lot of training so that all co-workers are on the same page.

Cons

working during the summer/catalog season is pretty rough but if you can make it through those few months the rest of the year is much better. It can be frustrating to deal the service office in another state because they usually have very little knowledge as to what goes on in the store.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
