Voice of our employee

"In S&E we are working in teams, where each team has responsibility for their own country/countries. We have a great cooperation in the department, both within each separate team but also across the teams and departments. We work closely together with Marketing, E-business, Purchasing and other departments at JYSK, so you get to know many people, when you become a part of Sales and Expansion.

JYSK has a great working environment. It is very informal and we socialise a lot. When you start working at JYSK, you will get a thorough introduction. Actually, we have an introduction period that lasts three months. During this period, you know exactly what to do and who will help you getting started with a new task"
