Pros

Fun place to be if you love makeup and skincare. Sephora always carries the latest, most buzzed about products.

Cons

The only way to move up is to schmooze upper management. After on-boarding there is no more career development. Leads drive the business while exempt management sit in the back. New hires tend to come from outside the company rather than promoting within.

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
