IKEA reviews

Management has forgotten what it means to work for IKEA and to live the values that Ingvar Kamprad has passed down to us. Decisions used to be made on those values, not on the bottom line. You will get hired, and you will get the orientation that tells you that IKEA is different from other retailers. It isn’t. It’s the same. They just have a bunch of smoke and mirrors to distract you from the fact that management doesn’t know how to properly run the business and are too wrapped up in the egos of their positions to realize they are ruining the IKEA experience. I want to add that I have worked at several IKEA stores over the years but this one is different. So different I cannot recommend to anyone that they work there. The level is disorganization is so high that the workers on the floor are left to figure it out while management sits upstairs sipping coffee and having meetings that don’t improve anything.

Management is primarily concerned about earning the annual bonus rather than fix several issues regarding excess waste and green policies, employee morale, workload excess due to lack of quality hiring, and callout abuse due to an inability to manage employees already on staff who only come in to earn a paycheck.
