Pros

competitive pay, benefits, free makeup skincare perfume, gratis, mostly working with women, yearly raise if your reviews are awesome.

Cons

Heavy workload, too much KPI to meet and theft is inevitable it will affect your wellbeing. Credit card is a priority that makes lead cashier turnover is high and especially if you are not good at opening cards. Payroll is not aligned to the workload that they're giving each store. Lots of drama due to many workers working at the same time esp. all women most of the time.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
