H&M Employer Reviews

H&M is a great place to work if you like going, going, going, fast, fast, fast, all the time. If you can multitask, keep a high energy and a smile on your face this is a fun place to work. If you like to travel, have great time management and know how to delegate, also good for you. Visual experience is very helpful, especially with merchandising and – more... completing/running floorsets. Selling is not as important with this company, but they are transitioning to a more customer-servicing environment. – less

H&M has all the latest fashions at amazing low prices, Arranging the new garments into wardrobe suggestions along with changing displays and updating sale prices with appropriate signs in the store and tagging the garments with new prices. I also would spend alot of time training all of the new hires the basics of running a cash register, maintaining – more... the fitting room and all of the garment care standards of H&M – less

Lots of favoritism. They always speak on advancement opportunities but its very hard to advance in this location

Good company to work for. Everyday there are different tasks that need to be done on the sales floor. Consistently helping customers find what they are looking for and if it fits to their body type. Love everyone's personality and it makes work fun. Management does a great job at what they do as well as being a friend.

Had an overview of core business operations administratively and commercially.

Fun retail job as a cashier, serving customer services, fitting room and floor assistant, help donates and attend events to help supports global environment.

H&M as a company is fantastic, they give generous breaks, and pay well. But the actual store that I worked in was not a tight unit, the management were horrible and lazy.

But H&M taught me how to do visuals in the store, this is wheremy interest for visual work began. They showed me how to do this.

H&M is a well paying company that helps employees achieve their goals. If you meet their criteria, they will help you reach the highest levels of the company.

A typical day at work would be clocking in, checking the breakdown to see where I am scheduled, and either staying in that position your full shift, you might get rotated, or be global and be on register while checking on the fitting room and running the garments back out onto the floor. My co-workers are great to work with we're a TEAM. The hardest – more... part of the job is having to be on register, taking care of the fitting room, running the garments back onto the floor, and customer servicing all at the same time because there is not enough employees. Most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with the customers and being able to support other stores. – less

good fun place to work grate team players managment needs work

was a first day when i started to work because they put me 6hours just to wash and to clean everything i found it so amazing...was great

A typical day at work includes helping customers face-to-face on the shopfloor, showing them where garments are. There is a fast turnover of stock at H&M, display changes every week so I have to know where everything is. I deal with customers on the till which I enjoy very much, talking to them about their purchases. I also work on the fitting room – more... too. As well as all this there is stock that needs replenishing on a daily basis and new stock to be put out in accordance to display guidelines. This is done in between serving customers, although if there are many staff in we can dedicate time to tasks such as this individually, and have a rota set out.
Having worked for H&M for nearly eight years, I can quite honestly say that they are the best company I have ever worked for. They employ a wide range of people, embracing individuality. Everyone is treated as a team member, all working together to achieve one goal. The hardest part of my job, is trying to get everything done within a day! There are many duties to do on a daily basis, as I explained above and there is also shopfloor maintenence, ie tidying up and garment care to deal with too. – less

Hennes & Mauritz was a great company to work for. Everyone I worked with was very unique, yet we all got along so well; we really became a family, at both stores. Working full time at this job compared to others is more like ALL the time. Management was constantly asking us to work not only 12 hour days, but would ask us to stay over night with little – more... to no notice at all. Overall the benefits were great, the people were great and it was bittersweet to leave this company. But there is little to no room to move up in the company. – less

Fantastic company that is internally committed to development and growth. Energetic atmosphere that promotes teamwork and thinking outside the box .

Be on the cutting edge of fashion at H&M. With competitive pay and reasonable benefits, H&M is a great place to work if you wish to be in the center of current fashion. While the management seems to be a bit inept, you will enjoy helping customers look their best at affordable prices...not to mention the discounts you will grab for yourself.

Excellent professional development experience in retail, customer service, loss prevention, management, product education, and styling.

-Typical day included long to short hour shifts, cleaning the store, assisting customers, finding clothing pieces, organization, processing the clothes, cashier, approaching customers to assist, standing for long periods, placing new production clothing, and merchandising problem areas to look better.
- I learned leadership from managers, how to help – more... customers and make them leave with a happy experience, communication was also a big thing i learned from working here; communication with staff and customers.
- Coworkers grow to be like family, but always keep a boundary between the work place to have customers be the most important to help sell more products.
- The most enjoyable parts of the job was when I am able to assist a customer or make them smile to know they had a good experience in the store. – less

I would be in charge of department re-hangs, which happened every 2 weeks. I would do closing and opening routines. I was also a trainer for all new staff that was hired. I multi-tasked a lot, did a lot of customer service.

Its a great job to grow in the customer service/retail field

A typical day at work consist of a positive fast paste, task driven, customer service enviornment. Working at H&M, i learned to always provide high quality customer service by helping customers locate item, adding on items, and suggesting them to come back and visit us.Management were cooperative with employees and proviided clear communication. There – more... is not many hard parts of working at H&M because i enjoy providing customer service and satisfying customers needs. The most enjoyable part of working is completing multiple different task and project to complete at certain time limits. – less
