The Good, the bad, and the ugly

Pros

The thing. that I most enjoy about working at Sephora where the people. Everyone shared a common consensus, and there was rarely any disputes. I got along with mostly everyone and rarely had issues amongst ourselves. Also what I loved most, not sure if it was just for particularly me but it always seemed as if they really pushed for you to succeed. Although the discount was only 20% the added incentive to learn about new brands and products with gratis and being able to sample anything in the store was more than enough. Also certain brands at times would haveA window of time where they would give an additional 10% 20 or 30% discount along with your already employee discount.

Cons

Things that I didn't enjoy so much was favoritism amongst management, but I feel like that goes along with most job roles. Also the ugly is it's your store manager did not like you you might as well quit.

Pros

Very good benefits, friendly co-workers, focus on work life balance, appealing work environment, free products, enjoyable events, lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

Inconsistency in employee ratings and communications between departments and managers; below industry average compensation base pay; lacking in company wide processes and procedures; managers rewarded and promoted for micromanagement; you may be asked for feedback but you can't count on the way it will be handled or turned against you as an employee.
