Pros

The overall environment is really fun. Being around makeup and skin care all the time is great. The customers are pretty good compared to most other retailers. Gratis is an awesome benefit. Co workers are fun. It’s a fun job if you’re just working part time with no intentions of growing with the company. Overall, my location really does live by their company values.

Cons

Operations team does all the heavy work but gets little to no recognition. Operations associates assist in ALL areas of the store performing multiple roles, but no one else ever helps operations. Hours constantly get cut even though the workload simply can’t be completed in the given time frame. Working overnights. Passive aggressive coaching over the walkies, bad attitudes, and coaching on the sales floor in front of customers. Things get talked about but never done. Promises get made and not kept. Over worked and underpaid. No dedicated time to development and training.

Pros

• focused on education and learning • gratis • discount (20-40%) • lots of focus on brand trainings • incentive for gratis during events and contests • lots of food, drinks, and snacks • always had something to do

Cons

Don’t work here if you have an opinion about something being done differently. Sephora pretends like they value cast feedback but they don’t. No improvements will be made but any problems will be blamed on cast. If you’re a submissive follower or just like to be told what to do, then you’ll do great at Sephora. The pay is abysmal for the amount of work you’re expected to do. Any shortcomings and you’re immediately given a talking to by management. Favouritism is at an all time high, so if you find yourself being given great schedules and generally ideal days, congrats! Don’t step out of line or that will change.
