Business outlook
Pros
-Work-life balance is okay. -Everyone knows each other on a first name basis. -401k
Cons
-It is pretty much impossible to get promoted. -Pay is unsatisfactory for services coworkers. Compares to less than that of other retailers in close proximity for the same position. IKEA is known for being "an employer that pays exceptionally well." Pay is only good if you are a part of management. -Coworkers who work in customer service work very hard, but, are treated by management as the "bad eggs" in the company. -Insurance is expensive and not very good. -Shifts are very long and stressful. -Technology is extremely outdated, leaving both employees and customers very unsatisfied. -Management is unstable and lacks enthusiasm.
