Pros

Education! Consistent brand and product training is always given, so there is plenty of opportunity to grow your knowledge. Sephora really emphasizes training, therefore you do not necessarily have to be an "artist" to be a consultant, and a good one at that.

Cons

It is difficult to advance within the company, especially if one does not have the flexibility to move stores. There is also a lot of competition for education positions, and PRO beauty team (for the true artists).

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.
