Fun and Fast Paced work Environment
Sales Advisor (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – January 18, 2013
Pros: internal promotions, healthcare, paid time off
Cons: shortage of hours
Working for H&M is great they have great benefits for full time employees. They work well with part time employees to accommodate their schedules. They consider your birthday a holiday and pay you for it, so you get the day off and don't have to work.

Productive and Lively
Sales Assistant (Current Employee), Croydon – January 15, 2013
Pros: discount, fair breaks, co-workers
Cons: getting overtime or more contracted hours, long days
Working for H&M has and always will be a pleasure, everyone gets on well and helps each other out when needed. The only time you feel your day is becoming negative will be if you experience a rude customer. Working here has built up my confidence, customer service is so important at H&M, being shy and useless will not get the job done here! One thing – more... I have noticed with employees new and old is that we are all quite similar, bubbly, friendly and willing to progress. The hardest part about working here is probably the competitive side, everyone wants to progress and of course you have to prove your worthy of it to be sucessful. Most enjoyable part is just being able to work with great people, with a friendly atmosphere. – less

Productive and great vibes all around with awesome food.
SALES ASSOCIATE, H&M (Former Employee), Milpitas, CA – January 12, 2013
Pros: free delicious food.
Cons: short breaks but i was okay.
A typical day at work would be checking in with manager to see what daily tasks need to be completed. I often got called to cashier and there were many times when I was handling fitting-room duties. On the weekends or early mornings new stock would be delivered, so a majority of the day could be spent unloading new merchandise, pricing, censoring and – more... getting it ready to be put on the sales floor. Aside from that, customer service played a huge role. Always made sure the customers were satisfied and had a good shopping experience.

Prior to my other jobs, I always learn something new. With my last job I learned different techniques to complete certain tasks. The management was nice. They were flexible, understanding and hard-working. The hardest part of the job at H&M was probably keeping up with the lines. It got very busy in our store so we had to make sure we were on our job with maintaining decent lines. The most enjoyable part was pretty much working at H&M, the people and work environment was awesome. – less

Productive
Sales Advisor (Current Employee), Birmingham – January 11, 2013
My typical day at work involves keeping the store tidy, maintaining the stores standards, making sure garments are not on the floor. The store has to look welcoming, that includes being friendly and offering the best customer service I can. Providing an excellent service at the cash desk, ensuring the customer leaves happy and willing to return. I get – more... on really well with my co-workers and management. I take on extra responsibilties alongside my manager, including help run the floor to ensure the day flows well. – less

Not a good working environment
Sales Assistant (Former Employee), London – January 10, 2013
They say that the company is all about customer service, and helping customers but unfortunately that was never the case. There would always be things that would be prioritised more, the only part about the job that was bearable were the co-workers.

Great company for Retailers to grow
Department Manager (Current Employee), Ohio – January 8, 2013
Pros: advancement
Cons: schedule
H&M is a great company to work for and advance. They take care of their employees and try first to promote within. I was able to explore all types of positions and learn and become them. It was flexible with school when I decided to go back to school as well.Overall my time there has been for the most part enjoyable.
I think in this part of my life – more... I am looking for something a bit more stable, and something to do with my graphic design degree. – less

Fun, efficient, productive, straightforward workplace.
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Huntsville, AL – December 30, 2012
A typical day at work is unpredictable. you could be functioned anywhere and that's one of the things i love about H&M, everyday is never the same. My coworkers are very knowledgeable about our products, and that makes our customers comfortable about shopping with us. the hardest part of my job is the pace, at H&M we take pride in our time and we hate – more... to waste it. so we work at a very fast speed and everything is timed. The most enjoyable part is our customers, they are like our extended family. – less

Very fun work place
Sales Associate (Former Employee), New York, NY – December 21, 2012
Pros: employee of the month rewards
Cons: health care was not affordable
Very busy work place, very fast paste, heavy customer service required,I learned how to multi task in a fast manner, there was heavy management and sometimes we were left to make our own decisons on assigned departments. The co-workers were team players for the most part and if not it only make their job harder. The hardest part of the job was cleaning – more... the store after closing.The most enjoyable time was gettting the new clothes and putting them one the racks for sale. – less

my typical day at work would be to find out from my managers what are daily goals and task are for the day. next would be to take action on the daily task, which could be to assist customers, put out new merchandise, clean fitting rooms, and to ring up the customer purchases. the most enjoyable part of my day is interacting with the customers. i get – more... to be hands one with them by building outfits and showing them other alternatives to there buying experience at H&M. – less

Great fast paced environment
Sales Associate (Current Employee), Columbus, OH – December 6, 2012
Pros: employee moral
Cons: advancement opportunities
This is a very task oriented position. The idea is fast & efficient. From processing shipments, to placement on the floor, to visual displays and so on. The lack of customer service was a hard step back for me to take but the level of tasks surely makes up for it.

Enjoyable, Challenging work
Sales assistant (Former Employee), Reading – December 6, 2012
Pros: staff discount
Cons: irregular hours
Working with a good team under management who were easy to approach gave the shop an easy atmosphere. The challenge of working with the public was the hardest but also the most rewarding aspect of the job. The team spirit amongst the staff meant that there was always support and this was the case across all the departments. A typical day's work entailed – more... cash handling and store maintenance. Towards the end of my time with the company I was also responsible for organising the deliveries each morning to ensure that stock reached the appropriate department. – less
