Sephora reviews

the management was not fair and did not promote from within they also went through about 4 store directors in the 2 years that I was there fired 2 women with years of experience and hired 4 men with no experience in their place after a new director (male) came in to replace the female director

However there are downfalls. Sr Mgmnt is a big one. I truly believe these people have good intentions. However it falls through the cracks. I have had wonderful oppurtunites traveling with this company and have met some great people. I have heard good things but I have heard some real bad things. There seems to be a lot of Sr Mgmnt abusing their power. I do not think it is fair to hire your friends or previous employees IF this is not the field for them. I believe in this career you have to have a passion to be successful. Also you cannot have a "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude and I have seen this a lot!! This goes against THE SEPHORA VALUES!! I don't speak out because I have seen what happens when you do. And it has been done to me. Not only does this happen at store level but also at the corporate office. It seems as if The Values do not pertain there. I have heard of people who have talked to corporate and have not been treated well at all. Sometimes it seems as though the customer is way more important then your own employees. You have to have an equal balance. It seems as though the training with management is not good either. You can tell for who this a career and who this is just a job. It shows and it reflects towards your staff.
