Fast pace
Stock Supervisor (Former Employee) – Sterling, VA – April 9, 2017
You have to keep yourself busy here lots of clothes to fold and put away assisting customers with clothing items finding the right sizes and styles for the customers and keeping a smile on your face pushing sales to reach the goal
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Late nights and weekends
Fast paced Environment
Supervisor/Manager (Former Employee) – Bellingham, WA – September 20, 2018
Lots of campaign throughout the year including seasonal promotions. Since H&M thrives on being one of the top fashions industries it prides it self in having life work balance and being able to go by values, that currently help with providing the very best customer service.
Pros
25% plus additionally 15% discounts on employees purchases
Cons
Always a need for new employees
Not the company that hired me.
Department Manager/Recruiting and Hiring Manager (Current Employee) – New Orleans, LA – September 20, 2018
I researched this company and loved everything that I read about it. It was only after my 10 weeks of training in two locations in Texas that were in full "Operational" condition that I was sent to my home store in New Orleans, that I realized many things had been left out of my job description. For example, customers consistently reliving themselves in the fitting rooms. The illegal returns that we are instructed and forced to take back. The morale is very low in this location and district. The new store manager is currently doing everything she can to improve conditions. She is facing many obstacles, but I have not doubt she will turn the place around. However, it is going to take sometime for her to "clean house".
Pros
Pay
Cons
District team

Working at H&M
Sales Advisor/Cashier (Current Employee) – San Diego, CA – September 20, 2018
H&M is a fun place to work, but the hours are not consistent. If you are not a full timer you are not guaranteed hours. Sometimes full timers get about 25 hours if business is slow. The hours are inconsistent because it depends on how many clientele buy. Lack of money means lack of hours.
Pros
Great environment
Cons
Lack of hours
fast paced
Customer Service (Former Employee) – Raleigh, NC 27616 – September 17, 2018
Holidays are great to work in H&M. Keep you very busy. Truck is fun to work. You get to leave early and have the rest of the day off. During truck you learn to process the clothes faster.
Pros
Free lunch and one hour lunch
Cons
few hours.
Productive Work place
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Columbia, MD – September 16, 2018
A typical day at work starting off in the morning was receiving inventory, making sure that it was all accounted for and censored properly. Making sure that inventory once processed correctly was out on the floor in time before opening and than ensure great customer service experience. You could be in the dressing room, on the floor or making monetary transactions at the register.
Pros
Good Discount.
Cons
Brief Break
Overall a great company to work for
Department Manager (Current Employee) – Memphis, TN – September 13, 2018
As long as you have good work ethic you will be very successful with the company. H&M recognizes good talent and will make sure to help those who help them.
Pros
Great vibes. Discounts. PTO. Growth within the company.
Cons
As a member of a management sometimes we are spread too thin.

Good hours, horrible management.
Sales Advisor (Current Employee) – New York, NY – September 13, 2018
The job is very stressful and some would say its retail and that is expected but we were very understaffed. There was no room for growth in the company position wise and the managers were plain bullies. If people called out or we were understaffed for shifts, they expected us to pull extra weight when it was difficult. I would only recommend this job to a person who can deal with customer service and high stress. I wasn't happy here. We did so many tasks that I feel like minimum wage isn't enough to pay the workers. But if money is your motivation and not job happiness, here is the perfect place to work.
Pros
good hours and shifts, you were able to swap shifts with co-workers
Cons
management are bullies.
It’s a good first job
Retail Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Chandler, AZ – September 12, 2018
It’s a great first job for those who wanna work on there customers service , also work with others like other co workers. It’s different every day witch is nice , so if you have a bad day don’t sweat it , the next day is always different , your always learning something new & staying on top with the new trends .
Pros
It’s a fun work environment !
It's fine.
Part-Time Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Portland, OR – September 9, 2018
H&M is decent enough for a starter retail job, but there isn't much to write home about. Hours are flexible enough, but you can expect to never have a weekend or holiday off, and changing your availability is a production. I work at a particularly busy location, and it can definitely get overwhelming during the busy season, but during the slow season it can be so slow and dull it's actually a little bit painful. If you're working while everything is reasonably well paced, it's fine though. Not great, but fine. The employee discount is alright as well, but again, nothing too crazy.
Pros
Flexible hours, good company values, discount
Cons
Average pay, unrealistic sales goals so you'll probably never get a bonus, quality of work largely depends on management
Awful dc
Basically Everyone Else's Jobs (Former Employee) – Burlington, NJ – September 7, 2018
I can only speak to the distribution center in Burlington, NJ but it was a terrible experience. H&M has no business running a DC themselves and should have stuck with the 3PL system. The warehouse itself is failing due to poor and inexperienced management and a very outdated SAP system rollout that was executed terribly. I would rather starve than work for that company again.
Favoritism, constant changes, poor raises
Department Manager (Current Employee) – New York State – September 7, 2018
District team was not qualified for their jobs, didn’t follow the “ values” of the company. Only the favorites got promoted! If you were straightforward as it states in the values they resented it! Raises for management were insulting. After many years, workload kept increasing, support from upper management decreased. Rarely saw the “ one team” value outside of the store. Only thing helping retention was vacation and wellness time!
Pros
Vacation time
Cons
Raises were minuscule, workload kept increasing, district team unqualified and didn’t communicate in a professional manner or support stores
fast paced
Team Leader, Hennes & Mauritz (Former Employee) – New York, NY – September 6, 2018
hm is a place that is very fast paced. if you want to work in a retail store that is always busy this is it. you can learn a lot about retail here.it's a company that keeps up with trends.
Pros
the employee discount, great job for part time
Cons
hard to get +
fun place to work
Sales Advisor (Former Employee) – Stockton, CA – September 6, 2018
Great job if you are looking to build your customer service skills with customers for future growth with the company or take it with you elsewhere. It's cut throat when sales are low and you have to fight for hours with other co-workers
