great place to meet people and make friends with co workers
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Bloomington, MN – May 12, 2013
Pros: good deals on products
Cons: no balance with work and life
Ikea is a good company to work for if you dont care about life outside the blue box, there was many days when people worked 7-8 days without a day off and salary increase was 30 cents per year. We all worked extremely hard and the turnover there was unbelivable.

Team oriented, productive, and a fun workplace
Forklift Operator (Former Employee), Savannah, GA – May 8, 2013
Pros: overtime, benefits, and employee appreciation lunches.
Cons: short lunch period
A typical day at IKEA is unloading and loading trucks. I learned how to work with adequate speed and quality in order to meet my expected performance of four trucks. I did a very good job with time management because I met the identified goal of loading each truck within a 2.5 hour time frame. The hardest part of the job was getting products on time – more... from the "runners" to load the truck. FYI-"Runners" brought the products to my gate. The most enjoyable part was being a part of different committees and getting raises. – less

Very unstable working environment
Team Leader (Current Employee), Denver, CO – May 2, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: no breaks for management, no training, no development, all self taught job knowledge and experience
I would say that IKEA itself as a Company is great. It is grounded in deep culture and values. However, those cultures and values do not transfer to that current reporting Management. There is no training program nor is there support, development or guidance for the supervisors or team leaders to advance or perform their jobs to highest level while – more... promoting the said culture and values – less

Friendly Team Atmosphere
Customer Services Representative (Former Employee), Woodbridge, VA – April 30, 2013
Employees promote a sense of acceptance and respect to other co-workers. Managers implore improvement guidance instead of immediate disciplinary actions. A core value was to create an environment where anyone is welcome and can feel comfortable.

. The experience was positive and I really enjoyed working there.
Customer Service/ Special Order Assistant (Former Employee), Elizabeth, NJ – April 29, 2013
Pros: there were always had incentives on the job.
Cons: there wasn't much of a growth to move up in new positions.
My day started with setting up the call list. I would accept call in between delivery call to answer and resolve any customer problems. There was customers to be greeted and making sure they were satisfied with the service. The management was reasonable,
The hardest part was to stay late in bad weather. I got along with my management and peers.
