Pros

The company brings in reps from brands to do training days with cast members. The reps are great motivators and often leave great gratis. The gratis is a great and effective training tool and a wonderful perk of working for Sephora.

Cons

Low pay, crappy hours, benefits cost a lot out of pocket and provide little coverage. Sephora’s clients often have a strong sense of entitlement and can be extremely rude.

Hi! Thanks for leaving this review and providing your feedback -- we love to hear from employees! I agree, the gratis and training that our brand partners provide is pretty amazing. I see your comment about benefits and wanted to clarify that we have multiple benefit plan options where you can define your premiums and deductibles based on what makes sense for you and your family -- but unfortunately, the cost of healthcare in general is pretty expensive. Sephora actually pays for 75% of the cost and employees pay for the remaining 25%, which is very competitive in the industry! Unlike some other retailers, we've been able to negotiate with our healthcare providers to keep costs low and haven't significantly raised our premiums thanks to our amazing benefits team! -Teresa

Pros

Really put a focus on their employees and the education of the people who work in the stores so they can give the best service possible.

Cons

There is a disconnect between what corporate thinks will work in a store and what actually does. It makes it very frustrating at the store level.
