Not too bad. After all it all depends on you.

Pros

Its a very good fashion retail company to start with. Gives to a rapid exposure to the demanding service industry. If you are up for it you can learn a lot in a short time which would help you grow within H&M and possibly in similar companies.

Cons

Physically extremely demanding nature might take its toll on you. If the senior management can not control things that are going wrong, then pressure is all on you. They will think of their own survival and your progression will go to bed. It will take time till when the area office sorts it all out and you will not flourish and only survive.
