Pros

PTO 401k and pension for part-time employees Discounts on food and merch Lots of employees so it's a great place to meet new people. Also the store is huge so there are always new people coming and going.

Cons

Always busy Irregular hours O4G = Organizing for growth. Basically IKEA combined numerous departments and cut staff and pay and tried to convince everyone it was a great change. I was working in Logistics driving fork-lifts. O4G combined our department with carts. So our department was then responsible for collecting shopping carts in the parking lot. More responsibilities you don't want for the same pay or less. Some managers were demoted and given a huge pay cut. Politics. Certain employees are favored for promotion based on their devotion to management.
