Pros

Lots of room to grow as they company is expanding quickly, opportunity is there. If you have a degree and are business savvy then you will move fast.

Cons

Most store employees are young and the pay rates don't attract big talent. The company has yet to "get it" in the beauty world so I feel like smart professionally driven people leave for better endeavors and cosmetic companies with a wiser sense of the beauty world. GM's are often not from the beauty world.

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.
