Pros

Working at Sephora, you will learn something new everyday. You cannot get bored with your work, as it is ever changing. The company is an industry leader in a thriving industry, creating a strong sense of Job security. As an employee on any level, your personal, and professional development are important to the leadership above you. Most importantly, the values-based foundation the company exists on keeps the company from ever straying away from what is most important; always doing whats best for both its external, and internal client.

Cons

Because of the strong work ethic and dedication it takes to succeed in this fast paced, ever-changing environment, you can lose sight of your work/life balance fairly easily.

Decent... But Leadership could be MUCH better

Pros

Fairly decent pay for non management positions especially if you have experience Lots of gratis from different brands

Cons

HOURS! If the store doesn't make budget then hours get cut. If you have monthly bills and need steady hours then this may be a problem. One week working 35 hours and the next barely 20 causes a lot of stress on cast members. Also Store Director spends more time backstage and in "one on one's" and meetings than they do on stage. Leads delegate and watch your every move but don't have to help customers when they are DIC.
