Pros

No meetings on friday and its a great place as a last career job.

Cons

Bad tech teams. Most of the tech folks are incompetent. Good folks leave quickly and bad stay. Too much politics. For everything you need approval. The leadership make most of the decisions, the rest of the folks just try to lobby against each other to keep their jobs and project. This leads to a very toxic work culture. The ones who are favored by leadership get all good projects, rest are just paper pusher. Most of the leaders have no relevant experience. They are there because they stayed (could not find job outside).

Pros

Friendly, knowledgeable, supportive coworkers. Management is generally pretty good. You get to work with all the fun products and learn directly from brand reps. And the customers are there to learn about the products - and you get to talk to them about the best products. If you're excited about Sephora, go apply!

Cons

Hours vary based on the time of the year.
