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 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.
