Always something to do
Time goes by quickly
Is local
Pay is goodWorst thing
Long hours
Learning on the job and if you make a mistake the fault stops at you. (Not enough training)
Not long enough breaks (due to type of job)IKEA Employee, March 2023

Best thing
The job has its perks like the discounts for staff and having select access to jobs going up in store. The pay is good for a part time job too.
Worst thing
Management are the worst thing in IKEA, they belittle you and don't consider you have a life outside of work, they don't handle situations like bullying in the work place at all and constantly go against company policies. You'll have negative files on your record for being sick more than 3 times a year or even if you're a minute late to work and the reason is out of your control. Work rotas are on contract to be given 4 weeks in advance and we are only given 1-2 weeks in advance. Longer breaks are unpaid too.
