Pros

People I worked with. All are a family. We tried to stick together. Wages weren't that bad but considering the work we did could have been better.

Cons

This SM doesn't have a clue how to run a store. Used to be a chairmans award winner all the time. Sits in office all day and never on the floor. When on the floor doesn't know what is going on. Does not have a clue how to run a store except into the ground. Only got the job because of who knows who.

Pros

I loved working at sephora inside jcpenny. I loved my coworkers the environment and the creativity that you were able to express on a day to day basis. oh yeah and gratis!!!

Cons

I highly disliked the fact that there was very little room for growth and advancement. I also disliked the hot costumes that you had no choice but to wear.
