Pros

The products that you get to sell are fantastic, and the perks of having a salon and licensed salon professionals are great. The discount is reasonable. The company has a great concept in general.

Cons

They do NOT pay reasonably and they operate on unreasonable hours. Basically you run yourself to death and do NOT get compensated for the work load that is asked of you. The part time employees make barely above minimum wage (7.25) and yet even the cashiers are expected to have the knowledge of the cosmetics, skincare and haircare to assist the customer as we do get graded per NPS scores on how knowledgeable we are.

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.
