Pros

Great Retail Format, Merchants buy lots of new products with a strong mix of Mass and Prestige items. Salon and service menu is a wide range of services.

Cons

Upper management claims but does not listen to employees, this is a very operational company who likes to " look good" for the investors and wall street but are out of touch with their stores. Guest engagement is not a priority if you do not staff your stores. Upper Management is from Discount Retailer's and want employees to spend 60% of their time in operations mode. The Beauty Guest needs time to spend with a Salesperson especially in a store that is downright confusing to the average consumer. Salon business does not cater to all Guests. A lot left on the table. All talk from upper Management, Go to your stores they are a mess!

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.
