Pros
Competitive starting wages. Employee discount. Occasional training products. Learning opportunities. Comfortable uniform. Access to new/trending products.
Cons
Availability requirements for a part time postion are unreasonable: In order to be part time, you are required to have 3-4 week days & 1 weekend day that are 100% open during hours of operation. Being FULLY available for 4-5 days is essentially a full time job with part time hours/pay. As a job that is heavily geared towards college students, this feels like a weird move. You can be dropped to Flex position at any time: if you are not consistently working 20+ hours a week. Even if it’s because they aren’t scheduling you enough hours. No monthly training product as a flex employee: If you can’t devote 4-5 full days of your week to Sephora, you will not receive monthly training product. This means that they expect you to gain all of your product knowledge from samples/word of mouth, or pay out of pocket with less than 19 hours/week. Hopefully you don’t have bills! (You do occasionally receive in store training products from brand reps, but this is rare.) Oncall: Hours can be hard to come by, especially when you’re flex. Typically you will have to rely on them keeping your extra on-call hours to make ends meet. This means that you never know if you’re getting off at 6 or 9. Rate of pay: the starting pay increases at Sephora SO OFTEN, but they have a hard time keeping up with raising wages for older employees to balance this out. I had been working at my location for 3 years, and made 1 dollar more than the starting wage.
