Very interesting and fun job, but you have to count that in as compensation to like the total picture.
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)
