H&M reviews

Training is too long, over 2 months and this is not disclosed at offer stage. Training experience was very poor and disappointing in general; You are left to your own device and ignored by your trainer the majority of the time. Your “mentors” do not seem to have any interest or even knowledge of how to train new management staff who are not internal hires. Only make a point to cover their backs with ticking off items from training plan after reading topics of a page. Very uncomfortable working environment, a lot of favouritism amongst management team as well as bullying and pushing people to resign. HR and Area Team are also very tight knit to some store managers so if you have any issues in store, it is impossible to be taken seriously or even feel like you can report issues you are experiencing, “victim blaming”. Would not recommend, it is not worth the hassle unless you have the same toxic mentality.

Pay lower than the industry or position average especially in Stockholm standard. Lack of learning opportunity from senior people. Some mid-level managers with insufficient experience. Although one of the core values is "Straight-forwardness", I see this is not well- followed as they aim to. Also, they can be bureaucratic so your contribution is not making that much change. I don't know much about other departments but the turnover rate is quite high in my team/department.
