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

THE PLACE IS A JOKE

Pros

free meals, majority of staff are nice, STAFF not management,

Cons

Never have I ever worked at an organisation with such shocking management. If your face does not fit then you will go nowhere in the business. I work in customer relations and the Team Leaders do not pull their weight.Majority of them have not got a clue how to work the systems and think they do a good job by delegating everything to co-workers to resolve. Management are never seen and also have no clue about what is going on in the department. Customer Services and Checkouts managers are an absolute JOKE. The place does not value its staff at all, its all take take take and no give. Holidays are constantly declined as FAVOURITISM is rife. And just this week we have been told that sales are low so majority of the team are having hours cut.
