Pros

Possibility to have a fast progress and an international career. I feel that young people are given a lot of responsibility. It is possible to become head of sales for a country after just two years as a business controller. There is no face time and you feel like your boss is paying attention and listening to you. Fashion is also a very fun and constant changing market to work with and H&M is doing a lot of things right when it comes to both marketing and the buying process. My colleagues are young, friendly and very easy to work with.

Cons

the salary, the salary, the salary. No one knows about what you will earn in a couple of years time. H&M is not open at all about this and I am under the impression that my older colleagues knows as little about this as I do. Another thing that I dont really like is that it feels like an international career is a must if you want your career to move on. There are of course a lot of opportunities in Sweden as well but a lot of the interesting jobs are in other countries if (Sales controller, Country controller, Production controller)

Job had potential growth when company was in a healthy state, ability to move into different career paths internally, pay is competitive, discounts on clothes a plus

Cons

Company lacks ability to adapt and evolve with market which has resulted in poor sales, mass layoffs, constant restructuring of positions, putting people in positions with limitedexperience and setting them up for failure consistently, poor leadership, lack of accountability and ownership, bonus structure poor, work life balance non existent if you are in an operations role.
