Pros

Almost from day 1 you are given lots of responisbilities and oppurtunities to influence not only the H&M group but also global fashion business in one way or another. If you do well and work hard, career oppuyrtunities are endless, it is not uncommon that a business graduate within two years have advanced to being sales controller (in effect, sales manager) in an H&M-market somewhere in the world, or you can move to south east asia to work with sourcing at H&M production offices.

Cons

Only one big downside really, the pay is a disgrace if you enter as a university graduate, H&M is between 20 and 50% below industry standard, this is a difference that seem to stay or even become larger as you move up the career ladder. It may be OK to work at a place where you don't have a high salary, but it is not OK to work somewhere where you have a bad salary.

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.
