HMV Application Form
If you work with HMV, you can get extremely good pay along with various benefits as perks. A complete training will be provided to you regarding the job. Your past experience is not a matter of concern, but your dedication and passion is. Even the high ranked staff members like team leaders, store managers and assistant managers have gone through the fast track and development programs.
Roles at HMV
Sales Assistant
You can certainly become a perfect sales assistant, if you have a sound knowledge and an ear for chart music, dance, metal, rock & pop, classical etc. Besides this, you also need to be a great customer service provider that will help you a lot in shaping up your career. If that is not enough, you can also play a major role in the company’s decision for stocking and choosing the various products.
Loss Prevention Officer
The role of a Loss Prevention Officer is very handy, as it demands keeping an eye over the entire store along with serving the customers. You will have to take help of the various equipments and minimize the chance of theft in the store.
Stockroom Assistant
Stockroom is the heart of any HMV outlet. And, you are going to have to carry out this important job with complete perfection. You will be responsible to receive the stock, process the same in time, and even communicate with customers regarding their queries.
Cash Office Assistant
Finally, the company offers you a position for cash office assistant. Here, your role will be quite similar to that of a stockroom assistant. Your task here will be collection of paperwork, managing daily cash, and pointing out the discrepancies. Here, you will get full support of the entire team too.
Salaries
The pay scale of HMV is believed to be highly impressive especially if you have joined the company for the first time. In the year 2014, the salary started at £18,500, which also included the graduate training scheme. Besides this, a quarterly bonus and 30% discount is also what you get. The employees of HMV simply love their jobs and selling the products in the market too. However, if they would not have been doing so, they must have been buying the same. In any case, discount is a major factor.
Benefits
The company also offers great holiday allowances to its employees up to 23 days per calendar year, although it restricts employees from taking leave in the busy month of December. Relocation expenses are also borne by the company itself. As an employee assistant plan, there is a share incentive plan and a pension scheme for the employees too. If that is not enough, each individual is eligible to participate in the bonus schemes.
Your benefits tend to increase as you move up your designation. High salaries and extra benefits are enjoyed by the Store Managers. According to some surveys, the managers think that their salaries are even better than the average salaries that are paid in the retail industries. Also, the recruiting department also keeps an eye on the same. With exciting annual bonus offers along with the existing ones that are offered to everyone, HMV is certainly one of the best companies to work with.
Head Office
If you are willing to join the company at the head office, your chances can be very low in comparison to the retail outlets, where the demand is much more. In any case, if you have specialized in IT, HR, customer service or even finance sector, you can simply follow the company’s recruitment website for further job vacancies.
An annual appraisal has been made compulsory for all the employees of the company for the betterment of their future. This entire system has been reviewed again and again and various improvements have been made where applicable, in order to give the employees a fair chance to excel themselves.
After the completion of two years, it becomes crystal clear that, who is likely to stay with the company in future. However, the company treats its employees to be permanent ones from the very beginning. HMV feels that, this is the only factor which has kept the turnover rate to 25%. Many employees feel that, if they indulge themselves to the company for around 3 to 5 years, they can become well capable of opening a new outlet.
The working hours are fixed by the head office, which you are required to follow with precision. The balance between life and work is well accommodated, which has different meanings for different people. However, the retention rate of the company implies that, it is correct in its decisions.
