Pros

Inspiring work environment with great possibilities to grow. In ten years I went from an Administrative assistant to a manager in the corporate office. Excellent benefits with great flexibility. As a single parent, this was VERY important to me. There is no hierachies here and everyone is heard- from the store co worker to the president. It is very much a team environment.

Cons

Retail experience is very important. For someone who does not have the IKEA store experience it is a little tougher to excel but definitely not impossible especially if you are open to working in the retail environment.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
