Pros

Potential for growth, good benefits, nice people to work with, good discount.

Cons

All stores/salons are under staffed on purpose which leads to stressful situations and makes it impossible to coach staff for growth. If you have a good manager that knows their stuff it's great. Not all managers are qualified to manage, though and few are trained properly.

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.
