Pros

Working there will give you a lot of experience with the beauty industry. After you have worked there you will feel more confident. There is room for advancement and growth but you have to work very hard and the hourly pay is not that great compared to similar jobs in the area. The training that is given to you while working in Sephora is priceless, a lot of money and time is spent on trying to train the employees. Good managers will try to grow you into a manager yourself if you have the drive in you. Did I mention the free products you receive while working there? Bins and bins of free product!!!

Cons

The hourly rate is low compared to similar jobs. Some of the managers are incompetent and slide under the radar for a long time before being disciplined. It is very easy to go unnoticed for years at Sephora unless you really put yourself out there for a promotion, but I guess that is all about the drive of the individual.

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
