Pros

Almost from day 1 you are given lots of responisbilities and oppurtunities to influence not only the H&M group but also global fashion business in one way or another. If you do well and work hard, career oppuyrtunities are endless, it is not uncommon that a business graduate within two years have advanced to being sales controller (in effect, sales manager) in an H&M-market somewhere in the world, or you can move to south east asia to work with sourcing at H&M production offices.

Cons

Only one big downside really, the pay is a disgrace if you enter as a university graduate, H&M is between 20 and 50% below industry standard, this is a difference that seem to stay or even become larger as you move up the career ladder. It may be OK to work at a place where you don't have a high salary, but it is not OK to work somewhere where you have a bad salary.

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)
