Pros

Benefits, benefits, benefits! Paid vacation, good co-worker meals, and educational reimbursement.

Cons

It can be a slow process to progress in the company. Although there is more transparency @ IKEA than other companies, it can still be a mystery to how and why people are promoted and /or chosen for their positions. If you want to progress you MUST say that you want to be a dept. manager. Departments can be Clique-y, and that can open or shut doors for you if you want to change jobs. Communication and goals get pushed aside due to basic breakdowns in everyday processes.

Pros

They have very nice break rooms. One of the best i have seen in my employment history.

Cons

It can be very busy, and you might have to argue with customers a lot and that really drains your energy
