Pros

Flexible hours but nothing else

Cons

I am currently working for Ikea. I am not going into all the details, but I am pregnant, Ikea never sorted my documents for maternity leave so I had to contact HMRC for help. I took all my holiday before my maternity leave as that is a procedure in the company, and just before Christmas Ikea didn't pay my holiday and I am with £200 for the holidays, with no money to pay rent, and no money to buy everything necessary for my coming newborn child. The worst part is when I called the company they promise me to call me back as they are busy and no one ever does, or no one ever replies to my emails, so again I have to look for legal support to survive the month.

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
