Pros

•You get free makeup •You work in a virtual makeup box of products •Working with people and seeing different techniques to apply product •Creating a network of friends that can last a lifetime (be it from coworkers or outside brand representatives that come visit the store)

Cons

•The pay. You are going to get less than ANY OTHER makeup retailer out there. They tell you it's "competitive" but it's less than McDonalds •Due to the recent economic crisis, hours get cut daily. You could end up with no pay and barely any hours and you aren't allowed to say anything about it. If you do, you are pulled into a meeting with the management and treated rudely. •There tends to be different rules for different staff. Sally could be working there for 6 months but if she's well liked by everyone then she can get away with more than others •The company is too top heavy. A lot of CEOs who aren't aware of the overall goal of the company are refusing to look at the big picture. They seem to believe the company is something it is not

Pros

It's Sephora. Any girl's dream job. It really seemed like..

Cons

Most catty place I've ever worked for. This place is the essence of "Back-Stabbing" place I've experienced. You don't even know where those "Back-Stabbing"-s are coming from. Because there so many.
