Pros

The environment was very friendly - They had a very good and fun training at the beginning of my employment - They give you some free products to become familiar with the products offered in the store.

Cons

A lot of times on busy days management would not run our second 15 minute breaks and those days were the days that we needed it most. On a couple of occasions when the store was very busy I really felt sick from standing and talking for long periods of time

Pros

- Feels like family - Leadership are extremely efficient and caring - Sephora values <3 - Training weeks and SOS - Higher payment than average retail stores - Doesn't feel like real job because it's so much fun - Get real friends for life - I learn so much that I cannot even describe - Constant possibilities to learn and to transition between worlds (skin, makeup, cash) - Clear possibilties to grow within the company (seasonal > full-time > leader > specialist > expert > director... etc) - Change a person (clients) life everyday.

Cons

- If you are not passionate about it you are going to do real bad - Have to be happy, bubbly and energized all the time - Lots of time avaiability right at hiring for Sephora training (which is actually very nice)
