Pros

Great benefits when you consider the price.

Cons

When IKEA hires management externally, they do not provide adequate training on the "IKEA" way. If you send a manager to train in a position who is brand new to the company, they are learning how to run the equipment, not how to be an IKEA manager. If the person has any retail management experience at all, they assume that you can handle all of IKEA's nonsense, like having to share a stapler and not actually being a manager.
