Pros

if you need money for the holidays and are prepared to abandon your family to get it then this is the place for you

Cons

Where do I begin.... I agree with the employee above. They micromanage you like crazy and hardly ever have anything positive to say. no matter how well you work its always you need to go faster. In my opinion their "numbers" are impossible to hit. Nothing makes sense at this company..one person gets fired for missing a couple days or talking to much and there are people that still work there who have missed alots of days and been reprimanded for numerous things and are still employed with sephora. Also they compare your numbers with other workers who have been there for years or depending on what products you are picking you are naturally going to pick slower but they still expect you to meet the same quota as everybody else. I think its a big joke..its nothing but a popularity contest. If the big bosses like you, you can get away with more if they don't they will look for reasons to fire you. You can show up everyday on time and do your best and it's never good enough. Terrible management is the biggest problem.

Pros

Best Job I've had so far. The store can get very busy so, time goes by fast. Long training and its only half for a seasonal, but they cover everything well. Cashier is not a hard job and the best part is meeting new people, and People who are trying a lipstick for the first time, or a teen who is shopping for makeup for the first time. Customers do acknowledge you, and want to know what you think time from time. Overall great company!

Cons

Seasonal job, not many hours what so ever. Before and a little after christmas was the jackpot. But this seasonal job is not supposed to end till End of January, and i have not worked for the past 2 weeks.

Pros

My co-workers and managers became my family. So many great rewards working here, you get an average of $300 worth of gratis (free product) every month. There is a lot of training and education but it's fun and you get to learn about so many neat things. They're great about time off, too. I was paid $9.70 an hour... got an offer from another location of $10.05 an hour.... not the best paying but not the worst. It was actually FUN going to work.

Cons

There are no cons I can think of
