I first went through a phone screening, then met with two store managers. We went out for coffee and the interview was very relaxed and I did most of the talking. They were very impressed, so much that they offered me a dept. manager interview instead of visual. I moved forward to the third (management) interview. It was a group interview and different to say the least. I received a call about a week later, it was from another store manager. He asked me to come in for an offer. So far this was the third location that I traveled to. He gave me an offer , and said he would get back to me within two weeks and that I should give me current job my notice. After two weeks I received another call from yet another location. I was given two days to prep for training (which was in another state btw) I received the call on Friday and training started on Monday. Everything with training went well until my second week!!!! That's when I was told by a trainer that my training was PASS OR FAIL!! Let me also add that this said trainer had NEVER trained anyone before. Basically they used me for 2 months to do work in this store. It wasn't even my assigned store!! Throughout my training I was constantly reminded that I could fail. I did more sales floor work then training and when I voiced this to my trainer it only made things worst! Long story short they put so much pressure on me that I asked to go back to the original position that I applied for. I was told that I would have to go through the hiring and application process all over again. However they did offer me a part time sales adviser position.....what a slap in the face. I have over 20 years of retail experience , 15 visual and 5 years management. At least 9 out of 10 reviews from H&M complain about FAVORITISM!! In my two months with this company I found out the hard way. If they don't like you they just don't like you. Thank God I followed my intuition, and pretty much started looking for other employment by my fifth week. This was by far my worst experience ever in my career. I feel they are dishonest and should disclose the pass or fail process well before they make you an offer. Surprisingly I felt immediate relief when I walked out after the sales advisor talk. I also recommended the company to other friends, but later told them not to waste their time. Sadly this whole ordeal has left such a nasty taste in my mouth, I loved H&M as a brand and that's what initially inspired me to apply. AlsoI found the values that they have posted on their employment website super inspiring. However it's all a dream, lies and a trap. No company would ever treat someone the way that they've treated me and many others whose reviews touch on the same topics
