What is overtime like at IKEA?

Great place to work for hourly part time or full time work Good benefits for retail

Department managers and team leaders get treated very badly by their leaders. Work/life balance is near impossible because a lot of unpaid overtime is expected, Resources are spread too thin to manage workload or to achieve goals placed in yearly performance assessment. Extremely toxic work environment, gossip and bullying regularly seen within management.

Easy to get paid vacation days, and no overtime. Good environment for everyone to climb career ladders regardless of gender.

Low salary and low commitment from other departments.

Benefits, discount, meal discount, 401k

Bad management, hours cut, no overtime, miscommunication, poor work life balance

nice place, fun work and a great boss

low pay, weekend shift and overtime, no free food

Great place to work in, environment is fast paced and busy, so time feels quick. Great people to collaborate and brainstorm with. Surprisingly very active role as you do a lot of hands on work.

Fast paced and busy, which means that there is a lot of work that needs to be done and on time as well. Overtime is compensated through off hours which is alright, but depending on the management overtime might be frequent. Early to work, last to leave situation.

Flexibility, employee discount, possibility to get experience

No overtime pay, weekends working

- lovely people to work with and meet (diverse and a sense of community) - People with all sorts of backgrounds so don't worry if you're a student - Workload is not complicated and easy to learn - Free IKEA dinners

- LOTS OF WALKING (its a big store) - May end up working overtime because of the workload (depending on the time of year you might not get paid for OT) - Will have to multi-task a lot - Management is not always so nice (Its retail this isn't surprising)

Work tasks at IKEA are quite simple

Lack of Overtime payment, annual leave, schedule are inflexible work scheduling

Friendly staff and good co-worker facilities

Company is trying to downsize currently, not giving out high hour contracts or much overtime

you meet lots of lovely team members from diverse backgrounds, its a steady and easy job once you get into it. The food is very cheap for staff.

there are some nasty sales co-ordinators/department heads whose bad behaviour is enabled and covered up. Ikea will also automatically roster you off your paid public holidays unless you double check them. You will not get paid overtime but the department won't function unless some people do it anyways.
