Pros

I've worked several retail jobs and Sephora was by far my favorite. Of course, a lot of it is dependent on the store where you work. I loved my co-workers, which was a huge pro. However, there are also some amazing perks on a company-wide level, such as gratis (brands offer free products to all store employees), extensive training, and bonuses for all employees, not just managers.

Cons

The company was often slow to restock popular products. We would be out of certain products for long stretches of time. To be fair, my store had a big loss prevention problem, so it's possible the company wasn't always aware our inventory was low.

Pros

relaxed no managers breathing down your neck. They teach you, they don't expect you to walk in and know all that you need to know. just wear a smile 5 products of face paint and don't look vacant in the eyes you are a step above some. for the most part everyone is pretty friendly. It is the beauty industry.

Cons

the hours suck for seasonal. its a what do you expect kind of thing. you clear see who they may hire on after the seasonal period is over given that that is the person on the schedule who can say they have a schedule.

Pros

Gratis Life is great as the as your part of the "In" crowd, even if you are unethical. Good pay

Cons

Working hard will get you nowhere. It's extremely political. Little focus on cosmetics if you are in management. Constant change leads to many systems being introduced and having many glitches. They say they are a values company, that is not the case anymore except when you want to write someone up. RVP's have too much power and play favorites. High school atmosphere with tons of drama which starts at the corporate level and trickles down to the stores. Definitely a company in a culture crisis.
