H&M Reviews

Pros

many paths for career development

Cons

can be hard to be recognised through the company

Pros

Company takes feedback seriously that’s why we do dialogue written feedback twice a year. Lots of small trainings throughout the training. Having good culture majorly depends on the leadership team

Cons

Really slow at recruiting new team specially for leadership positions, department manager hasn't been filled over 2 months. There was a time only 2 managers working for 2 weeks on their own only getting support from other stores when one of them was having a day off. It just burns them out. Uses the values against their staff to unfair working conditions ( we are one team and if you’re a leader you should support the store now .....)

Pros

An inclusive culture that is fun to work in.

Cons

Sometimes under staffed Some employees have negative attitude

Pros

great people to work with

Cons

customers can be rude sometimes

Pros

You meet some fantastic people and excellent training before I started my role.

Cons

This company is one of the most vile and horrible workplaces I have ever had the misfortune of working for. In particular the Australian arm of H&M is unprofessional, unsupportive and fosters a culture of workplace bullying. To the next department managers and visual merchandisers of the Adelaide store be very wary before applying, there is a disturbing level of bullying by upper management that included verbal abuse, spying on staff, random intrusive locker searches through your personal belongings, extreme micromanagement and very intrusive interviews after a sick day where you are asked what your symptoms were, what did your doctor say and if/what they prescribed. You will feel too intimidated not to answer these questions despite it being a complete breach of your privacy. These are done to make staff feel too intimidated to take their sick days. I raised all these issues to a HR representative and area management and who all put down this behaviour as a ‘personality clash’ and did nothing to protect staff despite that fact that they had voiced that they felt unsafe, intimidated and bullied. They insisted that his behaviour was not a form of bullying but rather part of a ‘driven’ management style. This company does not care about its people, it is run by extremely unqualified people who rose up in the company simply because they stuck around long enough and knew the right people in head office but don’t have any formal training or qualifications in management, effective communication, leadership or empathy.

Pros

Big company, work culture, good pay

Cons

Rush hours, weekend shifts, late close

Pros

the IT system they had in place were not very good and a lot of things had to be done manually.

Pros
