RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at H&M part-time (More than a year)
Pros
H&M offers great compensation for its employees, both part-time and full-time. They offer competitive pay and flexible hours, insurance, reasonable PTO and an excellent 401K plan. The organization advertises and completely delivers that they are a flat-level company, as I have found it simple and comfortable speaking to management and coworkers with the same candor and respect (and receiving that treatment in return). The company is a great place to work for if your desire is fair treatment and extensive opportunity for growth.
Cons
The 401K plan, while excellent, requires 1000 hours of work before eligibility, so it isn't a benefit one can enjoy until after at least 6 months. Obviously, like any other retail organization, there are periods in which time off is hard to come by as all employees are needed; so if vacation or sick time during the holidays is your priority, you will find some conflict.
Advice to Management
I cannot stress enough that communication between management is essential, as the only problems I have had working at H&M have resulted from lack of consensus between managers.

Pros
Great team environment
Lots of vacation/wellness hoursCons
Promotions can take years for some but come much more quickly for others. Seems to be more about right timing/situations rather than who is more deserving.

Pros
They offer 5 weeks paid vacation
Cons
Work load is heavy, promotions are few, favoritism is rampant
Advice to Management
Upper management needs to see value in their employees. One of the “ Values” is “We believe in People” But, they are quick to take chances on outside hires and require internals to jump thru hoops.
