Great place to start a career in retail

Sales associate

Business Outlook

Pros

H&m was a great introduction to the retail world. I think it's a very fair company that pays it's employees decently. The opportunity for advancement is there, if you want to and are willing to go after it.

Cons

My experiences with the management left me to feel that if any associate wanted to advance, they'd have to seek the help of someone above the store manager if they wanted to get something done in a timely fashion and be taken seriously and be recognized for their hard work.

Difficult to Move Up

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you work hard you get recognized for it and they offer more freedom.

Cons

If you don't work hard it doesn't matter and they give endless chances to useless employees. They give hard reviews in order to save money and make it very difficult to move up regardless of how well suited you are for the position.

Good pay for hourly

Business Outlook

Pros

-$10-$11.50/hour for hourly sales work -Fast-paced, lots to do -Good store discount -Opportunity to work with a variety of people

Cons

-Store gets really dirty. Not fun to clean up -Worked overtime a LOT. then they'd cut my hours so I wouldn't get paid overtime. I worked a 24 hour shift one time. Then they made me come back in the next afternoon, but cut me for the rest of the week. not a good way to give me a work/life balance!
