Pros

Great environment for someone young in college, but not a good place to make a career. Lot's of free product to try, but that doesn't pay the bills.

Cons

They continually make false promises about all the things that they'll do for you, just so you don't quit. You get trained on products and artistry your first month or so, and after that you really don't learn much more unless it's through your own research. Most of the management have no clue about cosmetics either. Definitely turned out to be a huge let down from what I had anticipated it to be like working there.

Pros

Training, gratis, innovation of the technology used, when I started with the company the VIA's used were great! They were gift cards and it came with genuine recognition.

Cons

Very fake environment from management, very cult derived, the structure they use for raises, passive/aggressiveness, store directors start to lose themselves, laziness of management, caddiness, lots of gossip, etc.

Pros

I found Sephora to have a very friendly environment, there were many cosmetics that you could test, and the hours were very flexible.

Cons

The biggest downside to working at Sephora was the low pay. I'm not sure how it compares to the rest of the competition, but the hourly amount was fairly low.
