Great place to work. I learned so much and appreciate my time there.

I learned many things while I worked at Ikea. The manager that I had was very willing to allow his employees to get there hands on every aspect of the Ikea business.

A typical day at IKEA is basically working under pressure at all times, fast paced enviorment. I have learned how to provide the best customer service, and to drive the company forward you must be able to communicate clearly to your colleagues so team work is a must. The hardest part of the job is when some of your colleagues are not performing as well – more... as they should be. The most enjoying part is getting my task done and helping customers at the same time – less

Co workers were all really nice. Managers were good and i knew my place and what to do day to day.

healthcare better than most companies. 3.00 coworker meal deals

I really enjoyed working at IKEA. Most of the managers are friendly and understanding. They were flexible with scheduling and benefits are great.

Love the people; different ethnicity and personalities.
From a personal prospective, I've Learned how to get along with everyone and better usage of the computer.
Management is very flexible. Most will work fix your schedule around your life.
Over 200 co-workers, very diverse group and extremely fun to work with.
The hardest part of the job is being – more... patient with disgruntled customers.
The most enjoyable part the job is the great food that is prepared just for the co-workers, and interacting with my coworkers which make the day go by fast. – less

Very secretive, if you need to know something only then will you know it unless you dig on your own for the answer.

The most enjoyable part of the job was working towards our goals as a team. My customer service skill has been improved, and I have learned sales skills. The management was great, they worked closely and paid more attentions to questions and concerns. Hardest part was dealling with difficult customers and explaining rules and regulations of the store.

Working at Ikea is very relaxing. Majority of the coworkers are usually in their 20's and they allow piercings and tattoos.

Being a cashier at Ikea can be really fun. I got two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute lunch break.

The most enjoyable part of this job is that if you look to find new responsibilities managers will listen to get you going.

The low prices on items were great! Plus employee discount.

Don't work here as a manager!!! They are overworked and have too many expectations placed on them with a very limited hours budget. HR is a joke and will always take the co-workers side on anything that happen because the store is so afraid of union activity. A union would actually make things much better there for the managers believe it or not. Don't – more... get me wrong, there are many good things about working for IKEA. The benefits are unbeatable and the uniform is completely manageable. There is also a lot of freedom, but it comes with a caveat of you must be liked by everyone and kiss tons of upper management butt. That is like most companies though. The running joke is that working at this store is like high school all over again. It might be because most of the managers don't have an education beyond that. – less

On our busy days the store is packed a lot is going on and its very easy to get frustrated and irritated but its always important to stay calm and patient. Managers are also helping with walking around and observing everyone and making sure that the employees get their meal break. Co-workers are exhausted but its hard to tell cause everyone has a welcoming – more... smile. The hardest part is when you have an impatient customer that just want to start trouble and nothing you do or say can calm that customer. The most enjoyable part is all the different people you meet a lot of the customers were very friendly. – less

Great company everyone is treated as equal management dont single them selves out

pay could be more for logistics staff imho at least £7.50 not £6.85

IKEA was an awesome company to work for, great benefits for employees and cool events.

my job okay,l like hard work and fast work...team player and

customer very important..

I currently work nights/early mornings, normal start 5am or if i do overtime 2am. At work its varied in what i do, whether its unloading trailers, picking or dropping from the racks, replenishing stock. I have learnt how to drive a forklift, Ive completed my NVQ level 2 in warehousing. The management is okay, some managers are more laid back than others. – more... The co-workers are great,really easy to get on with and would help if needed. The respect for each other in the team is high. The hardest part of my job is unloading trailers as im not that experienced but the more i do it the more experience i have.The most enjoyable part is driving forklifts as its fairly new to me and it gives me more responsibility in my work place. – less
