Fantastic as a franchise, horrible as a corporate store. - Avis employé Receiving/Replenishment Coworker IKEA

It is such a policy and rule driven work environment, managers don't acknowledge the human integrity of the coworkers anymore. You can be the absolute best worker in every way, but if there is an accidental/unintentional human error, you're written up and treated like a criminal. They never acknowledge their own errors, but rather spin it to make coworkers feel they somehow were responsible. There are so many hard working people that should be celebrated. Instead they're worked even harder and feel beat down. As a franchise, coworkers never left. Now, there are continual job openings. Most new hires are gone within a year. It's unfortunate that IKEA doesn't value the most important assets of the company. They have great products but they don't exactly sell themselves.
