Pros

H&m was a great introduction to the retail world. I think it's a very fair company that pays it's employees decently. The opportunity for advancement is there, if you want to and are willing to go after it.

Cons

My experiences with the management left me to feel that if any associate wanted to advance, they'd have to seek the help of someone above the store manager if they wanted to get something done in a timely fashion and be taken seriously and be recognized for their hard work.
