Pros

Pay is good, Store level staff are fun, Company is growing fast in US, good vacation allowance

Cons

Poor growth opportunities unless at low store level, Ridiculously long hours re-doing the same things over and over again because District/Regional management can't communicate between themselves. Very poor Work Life Balance, Poor benefits despite being brainwashed by corporate info saying otherwise (most people working for H&M have this as thier first job, or have worked for similar "fashion" retailer), Too much Corporate BS and brainwashing messaging...

Pros

Benefits Birthday is PTO Supporting other stores around the country Work goes by fast Open about wearing anything you want No drug screening / As long as it isn't in the work place policy

Cons

Overworked for pay Management team is broken up into cliques and often hang out with other employees outside of work. Regional is overly anal about small details such as shelves being spaced perfectly to h&m guidelines Processing shipments in the morning Management butted heads constantly on functions and usually would not give the chance for one to finish a task given by the opening or mid manager.
