Dying love for Sephora

Pros

Fun place to be if you love makeup and skincare. Sephora always carries the latest, most buzzed about products.

Cons

The only way to move up is to schmooze upper management. After on-boarding there is no more career development. Leads drive the business while exempt management sit in the back. New hires tend to come from outside the company rather than promoting within.

Store director

Pros

I've been with the company 11 years and was and Able to grow with the company. I started as a product consultant, than worked my way up to a color lead(key holder) as well as a product expert. Then moved from color lead to education lead and then into assistant store manager, to a store director. Sephroa is big on feedback and if you love feedback and want to grow than this is the place you want to be. I respect and live the values that we hold. Totally wouldn't work anywhere else.

Cons

It is retail and the fact that some stores are opening on thanksgiving day and have been a few days are disappointing.
