Pros

I LOVE my job! It has made a huge impact on my life and I couldn't be happier working there. Time off is given when needed (and without questions like you're a horrible person for even asking!) There is constant communication re: where you want to go within the company and my particular management team is amazing about pushing us forward and towards our goals! I couldn't imagine working anywhere else now! love love love!

Cons

Standing on my feet has taken its toll but it's totally worth it :)

Pros

I absolutely loved working at Sephora! I truly found my passion in life. I loved working with every client and I learned so much about myself while employed at Sephora. This company is very professional, and the communication was excellent. I felt like Sephora allowed employees to be very creative. I can't say enough good things about this company. The education you get at Sephora is amazing!! The gratis is a plus too!

Cons

The only con I can think of for Sephora is that it is a little difficult to move up in the company from what I saw. Other than that, I thought it was a great TEAM enivronment.

Pros

Lots of cosmetics & skincare to play with Good music Fun & happy co-workers Gratis - however you don't get to pick it out so it's usually random items that you don't use

Cons

Too many managers - leads, DIC, specialists, etc. & everyone thinks they're in charge Micro-managed beyond belief Communication sucks and you never know who you're supposed to answer to Can't leave your "zone" without asking permission Inexperienced leads/specialists who don't know how to manage people Be prepared to make samples, samples, samples Polyester uniforms Gratis is doled out by how much management likes you Everything you buy &/or bring into the store has to be etched with your employee number so don't expect to take it home any time soon All positions are part-time except for management so forget about receiving a decent paycheck Only a few make-up artists are allowed to sit clients down at the Beauty Studio The hand-bag & clothing check before leaving the store makes you feel like a criminal
