Pros
There are so many ways I feel valued at IKEA. I have been awarded Manager recognition after being nominated by co-workers throughout the store. I have been called out with words of thanks on our "Thank You" board. I have been personally thanked many times by me direct managers as well as the Store Manager. I have been thanked by those who work beneath my leadership. And most importantly, I have been thanked by the customers in the store. Value - priceless.
Cons
As in any business, it is easy to get caught up in the day to day tasks and lose sight of the bigger picture - our vision. While juggling multiple balls, it is sometimes hard to thank ourselves for a job well done. I love IKEA because they bring me back to center over and over and over again.
