Terrible, unorganized place to work
Pros
Some great co-workers.....Equally frustrated as each other....
Cons
Ineffective, lazy and disrespectful management. 90% of them are useless and that is being generous. Don't expect to move up at IKEA unless you become part of the clique. Having an exemplary work ethic will get you nowhere and you will NOT gain anything but more stressful work if you are a great worker. Management does not have your back and they do nothing but walk around with phones to their ear, (work phones but still - problems are not getting solved), or sit on their ever growing rear ends in the office while the peons try to keep everything together. The new organization - O4G - is an unsustainable joke. They had 2 years to get new job processes in place and they STILL don't know what they're doing. It's been since mid-October that these changes occurred. They screwed a lot of good people. If you see workers in blue shirts, they are the ones doing the bulk of the work and in some cases for less $ than the workers in yellow whose ONLY JOB IS TO STAND AROUND, (and walk the floor to a certain extent), AND HELP CUSTOMERS. Really? Do you think the customers know the difference? Yellows are almost never around and the blues have to help the customers while doing EVERYTHING ELSE, (inventory, stock replenishment, go-backs, shifting, solving problems, etc.). Blues help customers but 95% of the time, yellows are told by their managers NOT to help blues at all. Makes sense, right?
