The physical demands of the job on the sales floor in the market hall was much more than I expected or bargained for. - Anonymous employee IKEA Employee Review

Pros

Excellent benefits, respect among employees, nice people to work for and with, sustainability commitment, good break times during shifts, excellent time off accrual even as an hourly employee

Cons

Too physically demanding in the market hall, uniforms are ugly, can't wear your own clothes, not enough staff on peak days and times so lots of customers complain about not finding help when they need it and it makes too much work for the few who are working, exhausting when this happens and you spend your days off especially after working through a weekend trying to recover rather than just doing something relaxing and enjoying it.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
