H&M Employee Reviews about "h amp m"

Cons

Managers in this store don’t speak to you with respect and only want the best for themselves. They think they are better than everyone else. Only a couple who manage and do visual are ok.

Cons

The ridiculous overtime that is expected from workers is to be frank, annoying and unfair. It can be quite a stressful job, especially dependent on what store you’re working in (Flag ship, Blue, Red etc).

Cons

You will be worked to the bone. Management is unorganized and mostly young women with little to no management experience outside of H&M. Things get catty and it’s hard to ignore. The music is loud the lights r bright. While working, most shifts... coworkers would tell me they have a headache. I was handing out ibuprofen like candy. Your feet and lower back WILL hurt. You may be getting paid minimum while the person next to u is being paid a dollar over for the same work. Benefits r there but they’re hard to access and management doesn’t give out papers.

Cons

-Company is getting cheaper and cheaper -Not as concerned for covid-19 -Cutting corners to lower their costs -They need to get more advanced with their technology -Employees suffer from completing tasks on time because of company provided things like, slow internet, computers, registers, and handheld devices -Customers can cause emotional drainage over time -Good luck if you do have a bad manager that isn't understanding of time frames, the pressure to sign people up, and getting things done on a tight is schedule would be hell when you have someone breathing down your neck -A bit cult like after being there for a while -Easy way to move up fast is by sucking up to management and making work a lifestyle

Cons

My location was poorly managed ... it was well known in our district and nothin was ever done until they noticed the turn over rate ... we were loosing managers left and right ... store manager never appreciated work .. the stock room was the worst I’ve ever seen

Cons

Haven't found any cons so far.

Cons

Parking at the H&M is impossible and you have to park far or pay for mall parking. Most employees spent their breaks moving their cars at the 2 hour mark with validation to avoid paying.

Cons

Hours vary. Low salary. Customers.

Cons

- Work life balance can easily become very skewed because of frequent staff shortages. Colleagues leave and management can’t fill the roles fast enough, meaning the remaining staff pick up the slack for no extra compensation and easily become extremely stressed - Very poor digital knowledge across the company, particularly for a brand hoping to become a leading tech company in Stockholm. Limited knowledge of data analysis/even data fetching, meaning those with the knowledge are expected to pick up all of these tasks. Management also expect numbers/projects very fast because they aren’t aware of how complex the tools are to use. Many people come from store side and have management positions within online/business tech. - Very low salary which is not at all in line with market value and limited opportunity for this to increase. Management seem to keep expectations vague so that you can’t exceed them and ask for a higher raise - Emphasis on driving your own development often means there’s not much opportunity to learn a new skill, or receive much coaching from your manager, a lot of the time managers don’t have the experience of working a role to be able to guide you properly. It can go between micromanagement and being told to have responsibility for yourself

Cons

I've worked for H&M in both the Houston & Dallas districts. Unfortunately both district teams are often rude and don't follow the values H&M promotes (such as being open minded & believing in people). They tend to rule in fear and favoritism is heavily apparent. This behavior then trickles to a store level. Employees who deserve promotions are often overlooked due to personal reasons and room for growth is often stunted by excuses or factors outside of the employees control. They often pay outside hires more money than existing employees as well.
