According to Ikea, they’re hiring passionate individuals who appreciate the values of the Ikea company.
“We come from all over the world but we share an inspiring vision: ‘to create a better everyday life for the many people.’ How we realize this vision is based on our shared humanistic values. These values are the foundation of our work and our inclusive, empathizing, open and honest culture,” the job listing reads. “Working with us is like working with your friends. Our culture is based on the spirit of togetherness, enthusiasm and fun. And we’re always looking for people who share our positive attitude and values.”
Seems like working for Ikea would be just as fun as shopping in one of their giant stores.
According to Glassdoor, Ikea pays $10.76 an hour and up for cashiers and sales associates. If you think you could be a fit for any of these positions, make sure you’ve got your resume printed out and head into your local Ikea on Nov. 9.
If you work more than 20 hours a week, you’ll also be eligible for health insurance, a “generous” 401(k) plan, an additional retirement plan, tuition assistance, an Ikea discount and more, according to the Ikea website.
