IKEA aint to bad, but they are getting greedy and want to cut our compensation for late hours and weekend work, lucky it was voted away massively, but ever since no new agreement has been made or even nogiciations stated again so we are loosing out on pay raises and such atm.
Still we do have the 'tack' program (tack = thanks in Swedish) which means in all nations, but the Netherlands once you have been part of the company for 5 Financial years (I got screwed that way, started 2 months after the start of the FY) you get X amount put into your pension fund op top of the normal stuff. It is a profit sharing program. Nice thing for us Dutch folk is that the law here does not permit it, so we just get the choice to leave it on a savings account or have it paid out directly (after the government takes half of course).
For retail places to work at it sure aint the worst and the company is healthy so unlikely to just go bankrupt and supportive of staff offering legal council for free to those affected by Trump's Muslim ban for example. Really I will never agree with all they do (their tax structure is highly morally questionable) but overall I do like what they do and how they operate. Now if only they would stop turning down the quality on the products....
