Einmal und nie wieder - schlimmster AG den ich jemals hatte
Führungskräfte sind der Horror, glauben sie sind fehlerfrei, hinterfragt man Dinge oder gibt konstruktive Kritik, wird man sofort zu einem 4 Augen Gespräch zitiert, da man nun zur Zielscheibe geworden ist.
Fragen stellen ist nicht erwünscht. Vor allem Im Bereich der Gestaltung sind die Chefinnen fürchterlich. Es herrscht eine hohe Fluktuation. Es gibt niemals Lob, nur immer Kritik. Es herrscht ein enormer Zeitdruck, man hat so gut wie keine Zeit. Jahresgespräche endeten oft mit weinenden Mitarbeitern, genau wie die 4 Augen Gespräche. Kollegen hatten regelrecht Angst sich gegen die Chefin zu stellen, da sie auf Ihrem Thron sitzt und mit der Peitsche schwingt. Die Personalabteilung ist absolut nicht hilfreich. Alles muss man schriftlich machen, selbst, wenn man nach einem Kugelschreiber fragen will, denn die Worte werden einem im Mund umgedreht. Das waren die schlimmsten paar Monate meines Lebens, am Anfang war ich super positiv gestimmt, aber dann änderte sich das schlagartig, als man hinter die Kulissen sehen konnte. Teilweise ging es schon an die Psyche, wie die Chefinnen mit einem umgingen. War sehr froh, als ich gekündigt habe. Nach einigen Gesprächen mit Kollegen, gerade auch aus der Deko kann ich euch wirklich nur abraten dort anzufangen!
NachteileSchlimme Führungskräfte, kein Lob, permanenter Druck, man wird klein gemacht, psychische Belastung

Schlechtes Arbeitsklima und schwache Organisation
Wer hier längerfristig arbeiten will, schafft es nur über eine große Klappe und oberflächlichem Geschwätz. Menschen, die wirklich was lernen möchten und sich auf die Arbeit konzentrieren, werden eher verwundert angeschaut.
Organisation ist hier wenig vorhanden. Egal wen du was fragst, du bekommst unterschiedliche Antworten, was die Einarbeitung erschwert. Zugesprochene Fahrkostenrückerstattungen werden trotz unterschriebener Formulare nicht genehmigt. Zur Einarbeitung gehörte ein Fragenordner, der aber nie auf Richtigkeit kontrolliert wurde, da der Pate selbst kaum Ahnung hatte.
Es geht nur darum, miteinander und übereinander zu reden. Das Arbeitsklima ist oberflächlich und macht krank. Wer nicht mitredet, über den wird geredet.
Die Geschäftsleitung nimmt das Geredete auf, statt es zu unterbinden und glaubt es. Entscheidungen und Beurteilungen beruhen nur auf Sympathie. Umso lauter man redet, umso mehr wird man akzeptiert.
Gehalt ist in Ordnung aber bei diesem Arbeitsklima kann man nur von Schmerzensgeld reden. Wer nicht gefällt wird rausgemobbt. So war es bei mir. Ich bin froh, dass ich nach Ikea einen Arbeitgeber gefunden habe, wo Geld und Arbeitsklima stimmt!
On m’a dit une fois » si tu veux y rentrer, essai de mémoriser les 10commandements »
Quand j’ai su , j’ai été content car je mesuis dit woaw une société avec des principes et des valeurs.
Une fois à l’intérieur c’est autre chose.
Sa t’observe h24, que sa soit dedans comme dans ta vie privée....
Toujours dans la compétition car gagner quelque millions par mois ce n’est malheureusement pas assez....
Les RH sont les pionniers des larbins , c’est les femmes de bureau qui décide de ton statut !!!!
Sa mens, sa s’invente et colporte de rumeurs folle
Après dans l’ensemble on es quand même bien suivi vraiment . De bon mentor agréable et souriant. Capacité d’adaptation rapide sinon tu dégage, après sa peu aller de la petite bêtise au tribunal et tout ça car même les chefs ne connaissent pas leur rôle de « leadership » comme ils disent .
Omis taper sur les doigts valoriser un membre est malsain chez eux, apprécier le travail également, il ne faut que voir par leur enseigne et leur principes qui ne respecte même pas.
VorteileRepas diversifié et bon et à prix très très sympas, personnel agréable et ambiance bonne enfant
NachteileMensonge, corruption, piston, et on se sent très observé. Et il ne faut voir que par leur enseigne sinan c’est mal
I really like this company and enjoy working with many people here. Also proud of many initiatives. Friednly environment and culture. Big company with many business areas/locations where you could work and try out new asignments, especially if you are working in global functions.
In some teams, there may be unclear goals/strategy. Also, week career development opportunities if you'd like to grow up, but a lot of shifts left and right are possible. Company is very big and mid management sometimes not able to guide the teams and execution teams have to "sense" and "guess" what is important and build their roadmaps without clear directions. As usually, different people and culture in different departments and areas. Sometimes, mid management is not fully prepared to lead the teams and think strategically

Fröhlicher Arbeitsplatz inmitten toller Kollegen
Es mag wohl am schwedischen Flair liegen, aber jeder Mitarbeiter bei Ikea geht so freundlich mit den anderen um. Die Teamarbeit und der Arbeitsverbund werden somit gestärkt. Und wer mit Freude an die Arbeit geht, wird auch viel freundlicher von den Kunden behandelt. Die Arbeit bei Ikea bietet einem sehr viele Freiräume. Natürlich gibt es Dinge, die erledigt werden müssen aber man ist frei in der Entscheidung was man wnn tut und wie man die Kunden berät. Es gibt kein richtig und kein Falsch bei Ikea und das ist es, was mich dort so glücklich gemacht hat. Aufgrund meines Umzugs konnte ich meinen Arbeitsvertrag leider nicht verlängern. Aber ich werde meine Zeit dort nie vergessen - vor allem das "Midsommar-Fest" wird mir noc lange in Erinnerung bleiben.
Vielfältiger Arbeitsort mit spannenden Themengebieten
Ich habe ein zwei-wöchiges Praktikum bei IKEA Lichtenberg absolviert und war sehr zufrieden. Vom ersten Tag an, wurde ich in die diversen Bereiche des Unternehmens integriert.
Mir bot sich eine vielfältige Palette an Aufgaben und neuen Erfahrungen.
Zu meinen Aufgaben gehörten sowohl handwerkliche, kreativ-gestalterische, sowie beratende Tätigkeiten, sodass ich einen umfangreichen Einblick in das Arbeitsleben in einem Möbelhaus erlangen konnte.
Zwar wurde ich in diesen zwei Wochen nicht vergütet, aber die freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Mitarbeiter, der breitgefächerte Einblick in das Unternehmen und der stetige Spaß an der Arbeit, haben dies zu einem unwichtigen Nebenfaktor werden lassen.
Vorteilekostenloses Frühstück, Mittag; aufgeschlossene, freundliche Kollegen, umfangreiches Reinschnuppern in den IKEA Alltag
Ich bin jetzt seit 8 Jahren bei Ikea tätig. Ich war zum Anfang sehr motiviert und glücklich da zu arbeiten. Kollegen sind alle sehr nett und es gibt flache Hierarchien. Man grüßt sich immer und ist per Du miteinander. Was die Arbeit betrifft, ist es oft sehr stressig. Gehalt ist gut und immer pünktlich. Urlaub und Weihnachtsgeld ist auch ansprechend. Wenn im Jahr guter Umsatz gemacht wurde, gibt es einen Bonus auch mal über 100%. Kann man nicht meckern. Überstunden werden zwar gemacht, aber überwiegend wird dafür gesorgt pünktlich Feierabend zu machen. Leider sind Kollegen öfter krank und man muss immer einspringen und man steht auch mal alleine da. Aber im Großen und Ganzen ist es bei Ikea fair und man versucht den Mitarbeiter entgegen zu kommen. Kommt aber drauf an, wer dein Vorgesetzter ist und in welcher Abteilung man arbeitet.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Es war mal im Team ein gutes Arbeitsatmosphäre, man wurde von Kollegen regelrecht fertig gemacht kleinen Fehlern und extrem aus dem Unternehmen geekelt.
Kein Zusammenhalt unter den Kollegen. Unmögliches Betriebsklima.
Interessante Aufgaben
Kommunikation: Aufgabengebiet war jetzt nicht so wichtig
Schwache Kommunikation im gesamtem Team.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen wurden unmöglich behandel
Kein großes Weiterkommen in der Abteilung. Man bleibt eher auf der Stelle sitzen.
Gehalt / Sozialleistungen war ok.
Nachhaltigkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig.
Work-Life-Balance
IKEA ist als Arbeitgeber nicht mehr das, was es mal gewesen ist.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Das Unternehmen sollte sich an seine WERTE halten. Ein angebliches so tolles Arbeitsklima ist auch nicht die Wahrheit.
IKEA ist ein gewinnorientiertes Unternehmen und lässt dies die neueren Mitarbeiter spüren.
Es werden befristete Verträge vergeben, diese werden ausgereizt und am Ende nicht entfristet, stattdessen neue Mitarbeiter mit dem gleichen Prozedere eingestellt.
Abgesehen der vertraglichen Situation fordert IKEA von den Mitarbeitern vollen Einsatz und versucht dies durch ein tolles Miteinander ohne Druck zu erzeugen.
Dennoch merkt man in den Nuancen, dass die Zahlen stimmen müssen.
Wer mit wenig Stunden seine Studienzeit überbrücken will, für den ist ein Job bei IKEA eine super Option. Alle anderen sollten sich lieber ein Unternehmen suchen, in denen der Mensch wirklich noch zählt.
VorteileWeihnachts-, und Urlaubsgeld
NachteileBefristungen der Verträge werden ausgereizt
Schichtbeginn ... Übergabe von Aufgaben und Kundenresonanz, Produkte neu sortieren, Einrichten von Verkaufsräume und Auffüllung der Ware, die einzelnen Ausstellungsräume in Ordnung bringen.. zwischendurch immer wieder zum Family Point .... Karten Beratung und Finanzierung der IKEA Produkte / Mõbel und natürlich neue Kunden gewinnen und alt liebgewordene Kunden betreuen, ferner Durchführung in Inventuren und beschädigte Ware ersetzen.,usw.
Am schwierigsten war für mich der Schichtdienst, da ich diesen nicht so kannte. Jedoch nach längerer Zeit gewöhnt man sich daran.
Besonders toll fand ich die Schulungen und das Team,was wir hatten...viel Spaß und noch dazu Geld verdienen. Mehr geht doch nicht!!!
On paper IKEA looks like a great place to work. They have invested heavily on presenting themselves to themselves and the world as a great company and employer.
Unfortunately, the jobs are as good as their products. Look great, but don't usually last that long! I worked there for almost 4 years. I still ask myself how and why?
Training: just how many customers find the IKEA instruction booklets: inadequate. You are basically asked to sign that you have read and understood the definition of your role and you're handed over to a recent recruit who has just passed through 'training' themselves. You will be periodically pulled off your duties to run through a computer programme about your role. More concerning is that you are asked to sign that you have read a tome of approximately 400 pages of detailed health and safety 'training' and asked if you have completed it after around 30 minutes because you are needed back on the floor (yes IKEA is always understaffed). Many people do not want to read through all of that so they just sign. But management don't want you to actually read the H&S guidance either as you will discover that you and many of your colleagues are working contrary to the rules. You may notice for e.g. that you should not be working alone in certain situations or that you are entitled to claim for the cost of eye-tests/glasses if your role includes looking at a computer screen - which mine did. When I raised this with my manager, he insisted that I wasn't en
When I first started working at IKEA years ago I loved being there. The days would go by fast, the team leaders seemed to notice hard work, and there was a lot of opportunities. As the years have gone by that is no longer the case. After many years of bad management moral is extremely low and the only reason people bother to show up is for the pay check, they no longer enjoy being there.Before last year it was years that we got a bonus. Management was blaming the employees for down time, when in reality it was the 02 system that they switched over to which takes about five minutes to start up every single time you power off your equipment, and up until last year it would lose signal on an everyday base. We would tell management that the reason there is a decent chunk of over all down time was due to the new system but they would turn around and blame it on talking in the isle. We are not allowed to build connections with our fellow coworkers, but on the other hand team leader stay talking to each other all day. When you need them they vanish into thin air but when its 120 degrees in the warehouse you see them harassing people for trying to take a min. or two to get a breath. During the pandemic the location stayed open while a lot of other locations closed down. In the be-gaining it was hard to stay productive because there were empty queues left and right and no one know what to do. After about a month rather then take responsibility for the down time everyone had due to lac
VorteileParental leave, pto, really cool people to work with
NachteileThe list keeps growing by the years there is not enough space on here
When I started at IKEA, everything was relatively decent by retail standards. The Sales role was fairly challenging but far from overwhelming for me, and the environment was very supportive. Pay was somewhat above minimum wage to start, and turnover was very low. The scheduling was okay because the store hours weren't too extreme. About a year into my experience, lower and middle management got shuffled around along with some department responsibilities. This happens periodically in retail, so that's not particularly surprising. It's part of the development track of managers.
The pandemic significantly changed things. During lockdowns, we all continued going into the store to fulfill online orders. Many people take transit to work and so had to potentially be exposed to the virus, and the new roles stressed a lot of us mentally and physically, with many people suffering a variety of injuries. When lockdowns were lifted, security guards were supposed to enforce the mask mandate, but I personally had many confrontations on the sales floor with maskless customers on behalf of myself and my more timid coworkers.
The biggest issue is that the country office went full steam ahead with market intensification plans in spite of the pandemic and all the issues it introduced, like capacity limits and supply chain problems. Upper management was changed, and the attitude in the store was changed. Expectations were heightened, but without the needed support. The store didn't hire more st

Sometimes enjoyable but heavily flawed workplace
Allow me to break my experience at IKEA down into the following categories.
The Pay and Benefits: The pay is fairly average for the type of job it falls under, starting at $13.10 an hour. My pay is fairly higher than the minimum due to my specialist position but I definitely work for that extra money. The benefits are great for a "part-time" job (I'll go more into that later) but you have to pay a fair amount out of pocket for decent coverage. Bonuses are non-existent and you get a yearly gift around Christmas time and a holiday party.
Work/Life Balance: This is my biggest complaint about the workplace. I entered the company as a part-timer (20-34 hours per week) but quickly learned that most weeks will comprise of 30+ hours and many times pushing past the 34 hour cap. This was especially prevalent since IKEA opened back up after the COVID-19 quarantine and I've been scheduled 5-6 days a week nearing 40 hours a week with very little flexibility. I've even attempted to inform management to stop giving me more than 34 hours a week and was given a "sorry but no" response despite being told that isn't allowed. Also, the schedules are extremely wild and unpredictable as your availability has very little flexibility and can jump from early morning shifts to late night shifts and heavily intrudes in your free time. Many of these issues would not apply to people that would take as many hours as they please and don't mind the erratic schedules. Overall, I would not recommend working
When I started (1 beginning of 5 years) there were a lot of perks, there are 2 restaurants (cafeteria and snack bar) in Ikea, so even though you can't really leave for lunch or break you can grab discounted food, which over the years never went up in price which is amazing for some really good meals with drink, sides and dessert. There are 2 big parties every year (pre-covid) and the upper management plan the whole thing and usually went all out. For some of the staff, I think this might have been the first big parties they had ever been to so they went all out and bought new dresses, suits etc. They were all really good the first two years but then kind of went downhill (ie cheap) in 2018 and I did not attend a 2019 Christmas party because of this.
There were other perks, mgmt brought in food trucks and huge portions of popular dishes. It was fun and we felt rewarded. Once we received a raise because of the mandatory increase in minimum wages, this stopped. Very unfortunate. Not sure if it was because of low sales, new general manager, or what but that was disappointing too.
Other good things are getting to know your co-workers, most people are pretty great to work with. There are those who are very difficult to work with, and most of the time these people have worked for Ikea for a long time (not always though). They are unpleasant to downright surly.
So on to more cons... sometimes calling other departments you can be subjected to shocking rudeness on the phon
Vorteilefood for staff, sometimes free lunches, $4 for a full course meal, great people to work with, 10% discount on products, not too stressful
Nachteilestressful with COVID protocols, customers/staff don't follow protocols, very little social distancing, crowded with people running over each other, very loud screaming babies and loud people etc., employees with very low interpersonal skills, low wage for the work you do
Lascio questa recensione a sangue freddo dato che ormai sono più di 6 mesi che non lavoro più nel punto vendita di Porta di Roma.
Io ho lavorato nella logistica per ben 2 anni da interinale e sono stato mandato a casa, del resto come tutti gli altri a fine proroghe di contratto per non fare un Indeterminato.
Sì viene accolti nell' azienda dall ufficio del personale con tavolette del tipo: Questa è l' America e se vi fate valere potreste avere un posto fisso perché qui valorizziamo le persone ecc ecc ecc. NULLA DI VERO. Io ho visto entrare e andare via minimo 40 persone.
Oramai chi ha un contratto a tempo indeterminato l' ha messa in banca, tantè vero che possono permettersi anche di passare la giornata lavorativa a parlare o stare seduti sull' unica scrivania del deposito navigando su internet per motivi personali molto futili.
C' è chi durante la mattina e il pomeriggio sta tutto il tempo al telefono chiaccherando con amici o ragazze con tanto di vanto nella questione e poi ti guarda lavorare mangiando frutta o merendine, per poi dire che se non ci fosse lui il lavoro non verrebbe portato a termine.
Di persè ci si ritrova a lavorare sotto stress da parte dei coordinatori dicendo di spingere di più sull' acceleratore specie perché consapevoli che alcuni elementi non fanno nulla la giornata si rischia di non chiuderla.
In tutto questo contesto ci si vede dare il cambio da persone che prima o poi non vedrai più perché già sai che non verranno mai assunte perché il Mon
If thinking about getting a food service job at Ikea, don't do it
It was a terrible experience. I personally would not recommend working at any Ikea right now, especially in the food service department.
its a very physically demanding job, and you're not only expected to serve food, but also clean multiple times a day, and unpack and pack food items.
in a normal setting, with an appropriate number of staff, this is a demanding job. however due to the understaffing of the department, the job really became how well you can cover the duties of two or three people. it was not uncommon to see the cashier preparing food and handling money by themselves at the bistro as a result of no-one else being available to help which could be a very bad condition for cross-contamination.
The environment was very difficult to work in, with standing up to 3 to 4 hours without a break, wearing a thick uniform shirt with little to no a/c in record breaking heat in the kitchens and serving line, all while dealing with very rude customers and managers constantly prioritizing sales over workers mental and physical wellbeing.
Breaks were only up to 3 breaks, and they were a bandage honestly. After a tense interaction with a customer, or a three hour shift on the line in the heat, i would walk to the break room, put my timer on for 15 minutes, and just lay my head down until i can gather strength to get up and return to work.
There really was no advancement in the department to my knowledge, and it seemed common to see coworkers in the same position for more th
--- Very long review ---
The first 3 months that I worked there the store director was amazing but his contract ended. When we got a new director, for some reason things started changing in IKEA Canada (so not just our store but all of the management above that) and they kept cutting everywhere, which led to employees being overworked, including the part-timers. Let me just say this, we constantly had 3 or more department managers who had to leave because of burnout and since I stopped working there in June (we're now at the beginning of March) all of the staff in the department I used to work in, which was roughly 18 people, is gone because they couldn't endure the terrible management's decisions and the work conditions that kept getting worse and worse while we never got compensated. We went from having an EXTREMELY pleasant environment to work in, even though there are a lot of customers (hey, it's IKEA) to being constantly pressured to do more while getting rid of all the fun things we had one by one (salaries went up way slower than they used to, managers were on edge because of the higher-ups and unavoidably had to start watching employees more to make sure we weren't having fun on the job and only on breaks). I could've recommended working for IKEA 4 years ago because the job was alright and my colleagues were the main reason why we all managed to have fun even when we had days with over 15,000 customers walking in and dealing with the aftermath of having so many pe
They don't walk the talk, especially with their IKEA values
I've been an employee for about a year now. When I first started, I was impressed by how organized they were and nice everyone was. I felt welcomed and was greeted by my manager who was super friendly and still is. Within 4 months of working, I was seeing how things really were. Gossiping and management who has NO CLUE how to do things, two faced and throw you under the bus type people. All the managers were friends and did nothing except talk and stay in the admin part, there's a select few who actually helped and are wonderful managers. Our store is super disorganized, they get rid of people who have been there for years and the management has groups like in high school. All they do is gossip and blame others, none of the new managers get proper training, they don't have the experience in the areas and if you're not on their side you'll be on their list to get terminated. I personally am not involved in any of this drama but I see it around me in all departments. It's quite sad because apparently IKEA's main focus when you're hired is the IKEA values and culture, but what's the point when the leaders aren't leading and they aren't living the way it's supposed to be. You start losing respect for a company and only stay because it's a consistent paycheck. I do have to say the employee benefits are great. That's about it. I hate to say that for a company I work for but it's true. What's weird is other IKEA employees from other locations say their management isn't run the way o

NachteileLack of leadership, compared to their "Ideal" IKEA VALUES
Work-life balance
Ikea gives absolutely no flexibility when it comes to working at the contact center you have a set schedule and if you’re not meeting numbers they give you the worst schedule they don’t care about home life family life Covid anything they put you on the schedule they want you want and that’s it
Pay & benefits
You get it over 40 days per year in January but I have to use those 7 days that’s it! If your sick you better be there or prepared for a Right up! Great be Benefits but all of them aren’t so great
Job security and advancement
It’s clear that IKEA gives you the impression that you can definitely grow in the company but once you become a “Teir2” or “Gen4” You’re not going anywhere just consider yourself property of that department and that’s it you can get wonderful numbers have a great experience but once you get into that position you will not move up in the company and if you do it’ll take you about 5 to 6 years in that position to move up unless you’re good at kissing butt
Management
The CEO of IKEA is in Sweden he cares nothing about the United States division and cares nothing about our success or unsuccessfulness. As far as management in the contact center, they love to micromanage they love to write you up especially with things out of your control and even though they tell you they’re going to endorse you for other positions they don’t because once again when you get to a certain point in the company you don’t move.
Culture
