Pros

No pros what so ever with IKEA Tottenham.

Cons

No bonus scheme No flexibility in shifts Very strict in requirements Low levels of professionalism among senior staff Break times are often abused, and not monitored for fairness and equality The senior management team are seen as fairly distant to the majority workforce Heavy handed favouritism is common on a daily basis Staff are not able to question or challenge a decision, but to simply 'follow orders' Managers are constantly changed around and theres no chance for managers to get to know their team IKEA Tottenham has nothing in place for development or training No learning and development opportunities at all Some managers can be seen as racist, and always talk in their own language with other managers around their associates HR department in IKEA Tottenham is practically non existent. Existing staff there now are clueless, misguided, and judgmental. Poor decision making by them leading to many complaints. Clearly visible are low levels of commitment, determination, and general intelligence in HR

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
