Sephora reviews

Pay is beyond terrible, gratis is great but gratis doesn't pay the bills. Raises even for excellent employees are terrible, with a few cents raise every year. It's a joke. The turnover is out of control because smart people leave.

While you learn a lot working here, it's not always from Sephora but often time from one of the many talented cast members or from brands. In fact, the company will often put off your trainings until well after you don't need them anymore. Sephora talks a lot about their values but leadership often don't adjust their behavior to coincide with them. In point of fact, values are often used as a way to attack your work then as a defense for all. Also, while your job description may only entail one thing, you'll probably find yourself doing several other things that fall into someone else's responsibility. Also, be sure to factor time off your breaks, lunches, and ends of your shifts as clients and security checks can waste several minutes, if not more(especially towards the end of the night). If you're trying to move up in the company it is definitely a game of politics, and being the best at your job doesn't really hold as much weight as being best buddies with the right people. And if you're trying to be promoted within your own store then light a prayer candle.
