Cons
short break, health care coverage only provided if full time
Relaxed workplace
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Oklahoma City, OK – November 15, 2018
A normal day working at H&M was rather slow, but that gave opportunities to improve on the store itself. We could clean areas that the cleaning staff missed or overlooked, refold tables and size the merchandise on them, even mover merchandise from one shop to another to make room for upcoming moves on the sales floor. The coworkers were always nice and ready to help at a moments notice. The best part of working with H&M was definitely the feeling as if you were accepted by everyone.
Pros
Flexible scheduling
Cons
Lax management
Top pick for retail employer
Store Manager (Current Employee) – Beavercreek, OH – November 13, 2018
The benefits are outstanding. I have yet to find another employer than can compare. The hourly wage is also great compared to other retail companies. With that, there are high expectations with job performance. Fast pace and high workload is not unusual.
Pros
Benefits
Cons
High expectionas that are hard to deliver
Decent work Life
Store Manager (Former Employee) – Westbrook, CT – November 12, 2018
Needs improvement in leadership. Lack of quality of life sometimes. Very task heavy. Seeking other districts then ny is something I recommend . Great place to work but they need to commit more to the leaders in the building.
Great illusion but terrible company
Manager (Former Employee) – Burlington, NJ – November 11, 2018
When I 1st started at H&M I was so excited about the values they had and the people I met. But over time I realized all the inefficiencies as well as the phoniness of the people. They talk about the values but they are busy using favoritism and internal power to get what they want and promote who they want. Management regularly ignores major internal issues like lack of training, promoting unqualified employees, discrimination as well as safety all to get their numbers and make the powerful look good. In the end, it’s a big mess and a wonder how they continue to do business.
Pros
Discounts, benefits
Cons
nepotism, unsafe and unpleasant work environment, -poor management

Enjoyable place to work but....
Sales Advisor (Current Employee) – New York – November 9, 2018
Enjoyable place to work because of the people you work with but management doesn’t seem to care that you have other things in your life besides H&M, the wage isn’t too fair and part time employees aren’t recognized as they should be. In larger locations, there’s no room for advancement so you become, in a way, stagnant in your position with little to no possible way of advancement.
Pros
Employee discounts
Cons
Management, scheduling, wage
Outstanding Community
Sales Associate/Customer Service (Current Employee) – Fort Worth, TX – November 7, 2018
H&M really makes you feel safe and comfortable in the work setting. Everyone is respectful and understandable especially the supervisors/managers. H&M is a great company to grow with.
Pros
breaks, community, work ethics
Cons
hours
Follow the Values
Sales Advisor (Current Employee) – United States – November 7, 2018
H&M has a guideline set for its operating standards, the values. H&M needs to remember these values and what they are supposed to stand for. It seems like they're always forgetting.
Productive and fun
Merchandised designer women's and men's wear (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – November 7, 2018

Was overall a great place to work
Visual Merchandiser (Former Employee) – Freehold, NJ – November 6, 2018

Fast past enviornment with great benefits
Department Manager (Current Employee) – Raleigh, NC – November 5, 2018
H&M was a great company to start off in a high past retail company. I love the benefits, quick fashion and love meeting new people. The only downfall was if you relocated to certain districts hoping to get promoted and advance to the next position you might just be short of luck. I say this because a lot of the people that got promoted was friends of friends. Other then the promotions and lack of growth H&M is a great company to work for if you land in the right district.
Productive and comfortable
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) – Freehold, NJ – November 5, 2018
A typical day at work would be clocking into work seeing what are the tasks that need to be completed, then get right to work. Not only completing tasks, having great customer service.
Pros
Culture, Very open and free, feels like your working with family, but also happy accomplishing tasks
Productive and fun work place.
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Oxon Hill, MD – November 2, 2018
There are a lot of things that can be worked on but it’s not bad. The managers could be more hands on, as well as the store manager. Lunch timing, and care for the employees not just customers.
Cons
Short breaks
Overall a great way to learn retail business.
Store Visual Manager (Former Employee) – Miami, FL – November 1, 2018
H&M is a great company to learn about fast fashion,retail management,and how to start a business. I start with the company back in November of 2018. Although retail has change since then H&M has definitely thought me a lot of how retail businesses are ran and most importantly how to manage a multi million dollar stores.
Pros
The company is ran as a cultural business.
Cons
The development process is very controversial.
Productive workplace
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Wilkes-Barre, PA – October 31, 2018
H&M was a place you could work at and be totally comfortable. You enjoyed working not only because of the people, but because you just loved your job.
Pros
Free lunches, breaks
Cons
Lack of help from managers
Flexibility!
Sales Advisor/Visual Support (Current Employee) – New York, NY – October 30, 2018
As a college student, H&M is very flexible towards my schedule. I am able to create my own schedule as well as pick up shifts when it is convenient for myself. The flexibility is great for someone that may be in school, working another job, or has other obligations.
Pros
Employee Discounts, Paid Birthday, Paid Vacation and Sick Hours.
Cons
Growth process is slow and technology within the store is behind the current times.
