H&M – “take it or leave it”

Pros

All retail jobs are tough but, with experience and proper training (10 weeks for manager is pretty good) most goals are completely reachable. Health insurance (Aetna) with dental and vision is not offered at all by many companies. 4 weeks vacation plus 7 days wellness to start is also better than many retailers (who may offer no paid vacation). 25% discount is pretty standard for most retailers

Cons

The values are often misunderstood and misused. "We believe in people" means "we wont fire you for doing a bad job, we will just put you in another situation so you can suck there". "Cost conscious" means " whatever is cheapest no matter how poor the quality". "Straightforward" means "say what you want, to who you want, when you want to". Those are just a few examples

Advice to Senior Management

Work more on internal promotions. It is distressing that a person has a better chance of getting promoted by quitting then coming back to the company. Also, more consistency with managment pay.
