Pros
The number one reason people work for IKEA is the great insurance. I didn't need the insurance but I had such awesome co-workers whom I considered my friends that I stayed (however this is not everyone's experience..). staff cafeteria staff lockers and break area Although my belief in the company has decreased, I do think IKEA sells great products and I will continue to purchase from the store. I had no problem promoting products.
Cons
Low pay, if you don't need the insurance then I would seek employment elsewhere. Pay raises are a joke and only occur once a year. Management cannot/will not give raises based on acquiring skills or product knowledge. Tends to hire "bodies" who defer their work to other employees.
