      I 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.

      I have been working at H&M part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Staff discount is great. The coworkers are really relaxed and friendly. Management is really upbeat and try to make working at the store fun. It is fast-paced most of the time so time just goes by. Yearly raises are decent and the company has a good work life balance in place.

      Cons

      Can be stressful at times.
      Sometimes there's not enough coverage for certain periods of high traffic.
      Management is really unclear on how to move up in the company.

      Advice to Management

      Let the employees know about more career opportunities or ways to advance their careers in the company.

      Pros

      Stable work schedule, competitive pay, organized work structure, great employee discount + benefits. Without a doubt the best retail job I’ll ever have.

      Cons

      Shifts can get very long and tiring, depending on location and management the shifts could be very easy or incredibly painful. The stores can be a bit chaotic and the workload can be overwhelming but with good management and team members everything should be okay.

      Pros

      25% off discount includes sale items you can also use i co on top of that 15%. Annual allowance to buy clothes from the store. Can use the discount at all other companies owned by H&M.

      Cons

      Headache, drama , annoying customers, un fair HR team, revolving door due to strict time and attendance. You can only wear all black no logos and blue jeans. One day during the week you can express yourself freely. H&M system is outdated and behind customers always ask for a stock check and we, unfortunately, can not assist the customers to the best of our abilities with in store shopping.

      Advice to Management

      Fix your time and attendance, quit having a revolving door of employees.
