Pros

I enjoy working with my team a lot. Just know that everyone is sassy, so nothing is personal until you make it.

Cons

Operations associates are essentially cashiers (I worked at a smaller location) and things don't always get done. Also, if you want to grow in this company, expect to take the long way up the corporate ladder depending on what you want to do. Sephora doesn't care enough to have much of a budget for growth in my opinion.

Pros

The pros are small but I recognize them we get a great discount and honestly I've met some amazing people working here that I can call friends for life.

Cons

Working at this location has been difficult due to the store manager’s leadership style. Intimidation and favoritism are common, and it creates an unhealthy and uncomfortable environment for many employees. Several team members, especially younger ones, often feel fearful or pressured, which is disheartening to witness. There have also been situations where I felt my opportunities for advancement were dismissed unfairly. When I raised legitimate concerns, I was discouraged from speaking to HR, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. Overall, transparency, respect, and ethical leadership are lacking, and it has significantly affected morale.
