Fun workplace.
Cashier (Former Employee), Round Rock, Tx –
Even though I enjoyed working there, there was entirely too many workers and not enough hours. The pay wasn't good enough for me to stick around and wait for more hours seeing as I was already a Seasonal employee.

Productive and fun place to work with tv room and pool tables
Cash Lane Supervisor (Former Employee), E Palo Alto, CA –
Pros: free lunch and 15 percent off purchases in store
Cons: not to flexible with hours
I manage the cash lanes and returns also reconcile the float bags.
I have learned a lot about the electronic reconciliation process as well as managing the returns dept as far as what to look for and what to return.
All of the job was enjoyable to ,e I loved working with my co-workers as well as my management team.

The hardest part of my job I would – more...  say was having to deal with abusive customers who verbally attacked some of my employees and I would have to calm them down as well as make the co-worker feel safe in their work enviorment – less

Store Manager played favorits and it was very obious who she liked and who she did not. she and other managers spent more time "working from home" then in the store. sales co workers were allowed to stand around and ignore customers, spending thier time playing on the computer including looking at piictures. the manager would come in late for meetings, – more...  other managers would forget meeting or just not show up. – less

STAY AWAY
Customer Service Reprensentative (Current Employee), White Marsh, MD –
Pros: benefits, discount
Cons: management, stressful
Management will tell you anything to get you into the door, because the turnover rate is so high. They will tell you that you will get an early morning shift and then after training it's another story that you have to work at night. They don't care about you, just about making numbers to keep corporate off their behinds. The call volume is at least – more...  50+ calls in the queue at a time. The customers are constantly moaning and complaining in your ear. They are totally disrespectful. You can't do anything much to help the customer, except make a case and somebody will call them back in 48 hours. You have to apologize for everything, even if it's the customer's fault. The supervisors are sneaky and will stab you in the back. The company is great to work for in general, but the position sucks for starting at $11 an hour. People call out every weekend, because it's so hard to get a weekend day off. Who wants to be stuck somewhere, getting cursed out nonstop all day? – less

Front Line Manager (Current Employee), DRAPER UTAH –
Pros: salary/coworkers
Cons: poor customer relations manager
IKEA IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK IF YOU ARE A SELF STARTER AND SELF MOTIVATED. YOU MUST ALSO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH LITTLE TO NO DIRECTION AND SUPERVISION.

Cashier (Current Employee), Philadelphia, Pa –
A typical day at work for me is basically dealing with all the customers and making sure they leave out happy. I handle the money and transactions making sure I scan evey box and small item they have. Ive learned that i have to stay calm always smiling and friendly when working with the customers. My management team I have are great. Thy are fun yet – more...  still make sure thier doing thier to the best of their ability. I love all of my co workers and I got along with them well when ever you are in need of help they are always there. Thy harder part is just picking up and moving the heavy boxes. The most enjoyable part is just having fun with the customers and doing your job the best that you know how! – less
