H&M Work Values

Daily Duties at H&M:

When I started with H&M my 1st position was a Department Manager. I was in charge of the Ladies, Kids, and Juniors. While I was a department manager, I worked in locations generating up to $10M annually. Was promoted to Assistant Store Manager for the Chelsea Flagship which generated $15 mil annually. 6 department managers, indoor and window visual team and over 50 sales advisers reported to me daily. Management of the sales floor, SPH, People development, HR routines, and follow-up with Visual standards were my main focuses. Was promoted to Store Manager and worked in the role with locations that generated $3-6 mil annually. For these locations I was in charge of the whole building and managed all of sales floor and back of house routines. Daily I maintained Sales operations, Visual Merchandising indoor and window, all HR routines, (including recruitment, training, people development) Inventory, and loss prevention.

What they like about H&M:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
