H&M Employer Reviews

H&M was one of my first jobs as a teenager. It was fun and great learning experience regarding retail

A typical day at work consist of running clothes back and forth from the fitting room to the floor. We also do registers and provide customer service throughout the day. If a customer wants help with finding and item or outfit, we gladly help the customer find what they are looking for. For me, i learned great organization skills as well as management – more...  skills. I was part of the visual team for a short amount of time, but learned a lot! I learned how to do merchandising and how to be time conscience. Management was okay, we've had managers come and go, so it is a little unstable. Other than that, our store is clean and organized thanks to our managers. The relationships between my co-workers and I is absolutely positive. I don't come to work to make friends, but i have gained a friendship in all of them. I believe it's very important to have a positive relationship with my fellow employees only because they help you to learn and better yourself with in the work place. The hardest part of the job would have to be, simply cleaning the store at night. the store is always destroyed by customers and a long day. It is also hard to keep up with customers and clothing, especially when we are low on staff. The most enjoyable part of the job, is having more then enough employees in a night to make a close fast and successful. I also love putting a smile on a customers face by providing excellent customer service. Over all H&M is a decent job, i;m just ready for new experiences and opportunities. – less

There was no typical day working at H&M in New York. I loved the fast pace and youthful environment. H&M promotes independent growth as well as working with a very cool team. I opened Store #98 and felt as if I was apart of a very close retail family. The opportunity to gain more hours by assisting in other stores also added to the every changing company. – more...  The constant hustle and bustle did not even cross my mind while I was working – less

While it is still retail and the associates are paid as such, when I worked there the pay rate was high for the time and you recieved good vacation/benefits packages. As a manager the pay and benefits were excellent even at the entry level.

This was one of my first real jobs and it had taught more than I could ever expect from one place in such a short period of time. The one thing you I loved was the people you worked with became somewhat like your family and that I will always admire.

WOW H&M, I loved working here because the job had been the easiest I have come across. On top of working with a very relax team the work environment was expansive and exciting but productive.

Every day is something different for me at H&M. Typically in my day I will be doing everything from assisting customers, to answering questions about benefits for my associates. I am in a management role, and in the time that I have spent with this company-which is quite substantial- I have been promoted twice. My staff is one of the best around. It – more...  is almost like we all have a certain something ( those of us who stay around longer) which makes it very difficult to think about leaving. My store manager has been amazing by helping me continue to grow as an employee, but also as an ambassador. I have learned so much about relating to my staff, my customer,and my company through getting my hands on new experiences and asking questions. If this job were all smiles and sunshine, I would probably never leave. But as with most retail jobs, I feel as though I am approaching my expiration date. The unpredictability and inconsistency has been the hardest part for me since becoming full time. My shifts can range from coming in at 7 a.m. to closing the store at 11 p.m. Even more, the high demand for help on weekends means I seldom get time to have a life outside of my job, and that is something I no longer want to have to do without. To me, it will be hard to leave the people I work with because they are.hands down, some of the best individuals I have come across since moving here. They have made my time and effort feel validated , and I hope them all very good things in the future. – less

they paid me on my birthday to have the day off. Enough said. There was tons of room for growth if you were a hard worker.

Great place to work if you love fashion and fun. It's not for the faint of heart however.

Ambiente de trabajo agradable y buen compañerismo.
Turnos flexibles.

i enjoy working for the company. A lot of room for advancement.

I enjoyed working there but was for a more youthful person!!

The ability to advance in the fashion field. Will learn how to run a fast pass retail business.

I first started in 06 as a sales advisor n within 7 months I moved up to administrative assistant.. Once the job was no longer needed at the location I was at I got promoted to department supversor.. The company has been through too many changes in the last couple of years for me but they have great benefits

good salary demanding good environment. Good staff.. very flexible for those who in school

A typical day at work is following up with goals and assigned department. Ive learned everything i know now about retail. The managers were great very strong but reasonable. My co-workers were awsome we were alot like family. The hardest part was maintaining the store to its best ability because there is a large amount of merchandise. The most enjoyable – more...  part of my job was that i got to experience and learn the toughest job duties assinged and satifing my customers. – less

My typical day at H&M would require unloading new accessories off the truck and making sure it was placed on the floor as soon as possible and the floor was filled in. Also making sure the team in the morning finishes whatever the team from last night wasn't able to do. We had to support other floors and cashiers if needed. I learned how to manage my – more...  time throughout the day and if I needed more support I was always given assistance. The managers never limited me to one area, I was able to do visual work and gained some managment experience too. The store allowed you to take ownership of an area and your hardwork was acknowledged. Management was very supportive of the staff and was always willing to help associates. They never made anyone feel that their position was higher than an associate position. My coworkers were a lot of fun but sometimes the workload was not divided correctly. The star associates aften had to pick up the slack of other associates. The hardest part of the job was that I was depended on so much but it was not reflected in my pay. I did a little bit of everything and mastered it but the process to grow within the company takes way too long. The hardest part of the job was the store hours. For an opening shift you sometimes had to be there at 5am and for closing shifts you sometimes would leave at 2am. This is not a healthy work/life balance. For me the most enjoyable part of the job was the fact that I was allowed to take ownership of the accessories department, express my creativity, and the fact that it was acknowledged by all my coworkers. I felt like a valued employee. – less

The pay could be better, and the managers need more thorough training.

Fast growing company with many opportunities for growth. Major retailer in the world and well known throughout.

Working at H&M and getting the merchandise training I received I know has opened up a lot of doors in the retail world for me. I am super appreciative of that.
