Pros

- Great place to start off if you want to work with cosmetics - Very thorough training, underwent two 5 hour training days to learn about companies morals, brand - Great managers & cast team - Great way to get retail experience

Cons

- Inconsistent hours (this Sephora was a smaller location in a relatively quiet neighborhood), resulted in seasonal period ending early due to lack of hours, was let go early but told to apply back when hiring - Somewhat 'cliquey' environment in store, some tension between permanent cast team and seasonals

Pros

- Easy to sell products that I love - "Gratis": free products for employees to try out - Training by various brands - Fun co-workers - Leads (managers) are generally nice and understanding

Cons

- Hours (like any retail job) - the incentives for employees are getting worse and worse (less gratis, bonuses are almost impossible to get ie. goals set too high) - Customers getting more demanding (ie annoying)
