Pros

Being around makeup, perfect starter job, learn a few customer service skills, discount is ok, great exposure into the makeup world, nice part time job to have just for pocket money

Cons

No real training, management is lazy, overworked but underpaid, had to be to work at 345 am and unload a truck and restock but wouldn't be considered an overtime shift, hours are constantly cut but you are constantly called in, cashiers make up about 80% of the staff but are given between 4-15 hrs a week while mangers get between 35-40 to do absolutely nothing !

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.
