Pros

Always busy, never a boring day. Friendly attitude through all levels of the company.

Cons

Too high expectations. Country management constantly expecting you to run the store on less then skeleton staff. Store team are at breaking point. There’s a lot of mental health problem, stress anxiety and depression as a result.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate you being straightforward about your experience at H&M. As you know, this is one of our values and this supports our future development and growth. We are happy to hear that after more than 8 years in the company you are excited by your work and that there is never a boring day. We are also happy that you are mentioning our great “we are one team” spirit and the great friendly yet committed colleagues that we have. We are sorry to hear that the pressure you or your colleagues have been experiencing in store may have affected your wellbeing. We encourage an open-door policy where every employee should feel they can approach management to gain support in whatever challenges they are faced with, work related or other. We know that our fast-paced environment can sometimes be intense and the hours in store can sometimes feel limited to achieve our common goals. We continuously monitor the business needs as well as the impact on our teams to ensure a good balance for both… But we are taking your feedback on board and will pass this on to your area team. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

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.
