Pros

Working around all the different beauty products and brands was fun. Sometimes reps come in from the brands and teach you about new products. You can earn gratis (free products) and a lot of times reps bring gratis when they come.

Cons

Sephora is no worse than any other retail job I suppose. (I am not at all fond of retail.)You do a lot of ringing up customers and not enough making up customers. I didn't do as much makeup as I would like and I felt like just a cashier.

Pros

Friendly, knowledgeable, supportive coworkers. Management is generally pretty good. You get to work with all the fun products and learn directly from brand reps. And the customers are there to learn about the products - and you get to talk to them about the best products. If you're excited about Sephora, go apply!

Cons

Hours vary based on the time of the year.
