Pros

Honestly at this point in time there isn’t a single benefit in working for Ikea except there paid time off.

Cons

Management is untrained and does not care about the coworkers. I have never in my life seen so many unqualified managers in my life. No one knows there actual job responsibility. They just did a restructure and it was the biggest flop I have ever seen. How the CEO gave the ok for this reorganization is beyond me. But after it happened and was a complete mess everyone in charge jumped ship to different roles and neglected responsibility. The biggest thing is they are hiring brand new coworkers at higher rates for then coworkers who have been with the company for years... and these are for the same positions as the knowledgeable coworkers and the coworker then has to train the new person making more then them.
