RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at IKEA part-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Flexible schedule (good job for students)
Good benefits (medical, dental, PTO, 401k, bonuses, etc)Cons
Management and HR are not empathetic. They don't hire enough people and we are constantly understaffed. GM seems to be all about money and not about employee happiness/retention.
Advice to Management
Business is not all about money. Don't forget that keeping your employees happy will lead to better sales and better retention. Quit cutting hours because employees are being overworked.

Pros
Great Benefits. IKEA Cares about environment and Humanitarian issues.
Cons
IKEA US is going through a reorganization. All current employees have re-applied for a nebulous position at IKEA to be offered in FY18
Advice to Management
Value your loyal employees by compensating those coworkers that have produced significant growth in the US and honor the coworkers have given back to the company with hard work and dedication making IKEA US a market leader in home furnishing. Loyal employees that would like to stay and grow with the company should be given clear direction with regard to the future of their career with IKEA anything less is shameful and cause for unnecessary anxiety non supportive of the work-family-life balance.
