Pros

I really liked the people I met there. IKEA has a tendency to attract all kinds of people, so my team was always diverse and fun. The benefits were good, too.

Cons

They changed the work structure of the selling co-workers. You used to be hired per department (sofas, beds, etc.), but they changed it last year so that you would rotate to different parts and learn the whole store. It sounds cool in concept, but it's pretty overwhelming and sometimes frustrating to feel like you are an expert in area, and yet spend all your time selling things you aren't familiar with. You also lose the camaraderie you have with your team, when you spend hours wandering around the store by yourself, trying to pick up on things on your own because staff is spread too thin to get you a qualified trainer.
