      Focus on education

      Pros

      Education! Consistent brand and product training is always given, so there is plenty of opportunity to grow your knowledge. Sephora really emphasizes training, therefore you do not necessarily have to be an "artist" to be a consultant, and a good one at that.

      Cons

      It is difficult to advance within the company, especially if one does not have the flexibility to move stores. There is also a lot of competition for education positions, and PRO beauty team (for the true artists).

      Pros

      they offer free stuff "gratis" for work well done, usually signing people up for Beauty Insider cards or staying late.

      Cons

      not a great discount, 10% as I recall. Also, worked there while taking time off from college. The manager agreed to complete this employer form I needed but obv took no time completing it. It looked like crap, basically wrote "I don't know and I don't care" all over it.

      Pros

      - Prestigious in terms of professional makeup used in the industry. - Great gratis given, and given often. - Freedom (for the most part) to span the floor and offer help when and where needed. - Good opportunity for experience with hands-on demonstrations to actual clients. - Product incentives provided when great service or sales is observed. - Huge variety of high-quality brands you're encouraged to try out and recommend.

      Cons

      - The employee demographics are dominantly female, and in my experience, co-workers and even management have shown very catty sides. Definitely noticed some ****talking. - Standing around for hours upon end, especially when business is slow, can be a drag. - In my particular location, hours were extremely hard to come by during some months. Some weeks, I was only scheduled a day or two when I'd requested 4-5.
