Pros

Working here is fun, the people are great, and the customers are very nice. It's great if you have a passion for make-up, and they provide training.

Cons

Pay is terrible, as well as benefits if they offer any. Because Sephora is inside of JC Penney, they do not accept the Beauty Insider cards, distribute the birthday gifts, or accept online promotions. This annoyes customers.
