Pros

- Pay is above average compared to other retailers - Opportunity for advancement if you show interest and make it known to management - Great incentives (i.e. $50 gift card if store sales goals are made, occasional 50% discount, etc) - Fellow Employees are friendly for the most part - Ability to dress however you want and don't necessarily have to wear the company's clothes - Company is open to employees having tattoos and piercings (I have a full sleeve for example)

Cons

- Company culture has drastically changed since I started working there 5 years ago; H&M is more concerned with making the bottom line rather then their employees quality of life - Even with increased sales, the hours do not increase (expect to function on the least amount of hours possible) - Overall the company has become your typical "american retail store"; money over the employee's needs.

Pros

Benefits even for part-timers is a huge win! Sick leave, vacation, and community days. Nice management and really friendly coworkers. Decent employee discount. Diverse and welcoming environment.

Cons

Very stressful work environment considering the low pay. Poorly managed and operated. They clearly try to run lean and do as much work with as few people as possible. Very unprofessional overall and a lot of greenwashing.
