Pros

IKEA brand is perceived to be good. If you simply want a glorified retail job with ok pay, this is it.

Cons

IKEA is just another retailer selling low quality items. To keep the items cost low, compensation is equally low. One can find a higher paying job outside of retail. A lot of favoritism with management. Write ups are given without any proof and terminations are done without any substantiation. Unlike the previous senior leadership, current senior leadership and HR is rarely seen and hides behind their desks in their office. They say open door, but it truly is not. They do not represent the value of lead by example.
