IKEA Employer Reviews

clock in, check in with floor support and began my work. If there was an issue on the frontend with a spilled item, cart left behind etc I would handle it

I love IKEA Charlotte! Ive worked there since build up makes 5yrs. Very Flexible, Can move pretty much move anywhere in the world. and they will move or send you there!

i loved working for this place but they moved out of state and was unable to move at the time

A typical day at IKEA consisted of completing tasks from Installed Help desk ticketing system also to answer calls of immediate issues..

Making sure server backups were completed and stored safely, furthermore, I was also in charge of all user access and parameters.. These were constant for changing of business needs..

Coworker were pleasant to work – more... with, in dealing with so many people on a daily basis it was imperative to keep a log of people I spoke with about issues.. – less

There's no such thing as a typical day in the Communications and Interior Design department at IKEA, but it can include planning, project phasing, implementation, meetings, vendor visits, work orders, client interactions and documentation work.

What I've really learned at my time with IKEA is that I am a function designer. I relish in minute details – more... and precision measurements. My passion is for cabinetry, closets, office spaces, and mill work. Oh, I can make it look good too, don't get me wrong. Nine years at one of the top furniture design companies in the world has taught me how to present a space that people will point to and take pictures of, and I'm proud of that.

It also doesn't hurt to work with some of the best coworkers and management teams you could ask for. I've made life long friends at IKEA and even after we've parted ways professionally, I know we'll keep in touch.

Which is one of the reasons leaving will be so hard, but the sad truth is, I'm salary capped, and there are very few upwardly mobile positions available. In the end, seeking employment outside of IKEA is a financial decision that I am making for my family.

So, if you're looking for a killer designer with crazy attention to detail, that's not afraid to get a little dirty and think outside the box, then, I'm you're new hire! – less

• Ensured customer satisfaction, provided assistance in locating items and served as cashier.

This company is good for family people, they are flexible with shifts if you have family. good security and good facilities.

You must be fit if you work in the warehouse.

decent place to work for, however it is not easy to move up. it gets very busy, it is a high volume store and it recieves well over 500,000 on the weekend. the job requires patience and alot of it, especially with those who may not speak the same language as you.

Good hours, high wages, and learned to maintain a large warehouse.

Fast paced but with the abilty to be coachable you can go anywhere with them. Great values and an out of the box type of work enviroment that allows for flexibility and development.

Friendly customers, good display of products, positive atmosphere

The work environment at IKEA is great, I love my coworkers and the management is very approachable. I would recommend applying to this company you looking for a stable retail job with excellent benefits.

There was no typical day at work at IKEA. Every day presented new challenges and goals. I learned the value of the customer and the co-worker while working at IKEA. There was not anything that was too hard to do because there were so many people to help you do what needed to be done. Just working at IKEA was a pleasure.

great place to work ... managemet was ok... very cool laid back atmosphere.

Initially a good experience , however there are many disgruntled employees politics and inuendo that become the norm . Contracts with temp agencies are being discontinued and the temps that have been with company for less than 120 days have no recourse for placement within Ikea ranks as they have started to hire off the street and ( New hires ) will – more... have seniority over temps not yet hired by Ikea corp. – less

I started as an hourly part time employee and within three years moved up to a full time assistant manager. Needless to say it was defenitely hard with non stop work and plenty of store drama. Depending where you work you can expect long hours and hard work. However as long as you out in your work, put all personal issues aside the skies the limit. – more... There is defintely room to grow and move up just put in your time. Only negative side is the huge amount of IKEA cutlure that is spred around and brainwashed into you. – less

Coworkers are friendly. Its great being able to interact with customers. Benefits are great. The hardest part of this job is learning who to please.

A typical day would be walking in and first collecting the lost stock from the ground floor near the checkouts. Then I would proceed by clearing any rubbish or stock from the department and wait for customers to start arriving. In the average day I learned a lot of customer service skills by looking at other staff members and my own experiences, during – more... my management were very open about my work ethic and it helped me evolve into a better person. The hardest part of the job would have been the customers that had no respect for me and acted inappropriately towards me, like speaking in a bad manner. Although the most enjoyable part of the day was helping customers with there inquires and giving the best service possible; so that they would leave after having the best shopping experience possible. – less

It was always something to build. The management was always professional and I was just a temp.

A typical day at IKEA in South Philly is busy, the weekends get crazy when there are callouts. I learned how to develope co-workers and what it takes to be a good manager. Management has a clear direction on the company but they are not in touch with the everyday worker. My co-workers are awesome they make coming to work feel good. Hardest part of the – more... job is complete the paperwork associated with my position when you have to cover the floor. Most enjoyable part of the job is seeing people develope and move up. – less
