Pros

-FREE makeup. LOTS of free makeup -Unlimited samples. -Bonuses -Co-workers are so friendly and fun to work with -Mandatory meetings are fun. (Dress-up, contests, donuts, holiday spirit)

Cons

Management could not care less about you if you are part time. They didn't bother to learn who I was. At one point, another girl with my same first name quit and they stopped scheduling me because they thought it was me. It took a month for them to fix the problem since they were moving around management. Management was a mess, they would call me angry asking me where I was because I was missing for my shift when really I was not scheduled and they had me confused with someone else. Management gossiped in the office with the door wide open (everyone could hear as they walked by.) They cut hours for everyone then hired on more girls. It was a disaster.

Thank you for your review! I love all the pros you listed- but am very concerned about the cons. This isn't what I've personally experienced or heard from colleagues, but I want you to know we take this feedback seriously. I'll share this with the appropriate teams in Las Vegas to look into this further. Thank you for taking the time to share. -Teresa

Pros

Wonderful to work with so many high powered and dedicated women. Everyone was very devoted to their job and contributing to the success of the company. Awesome holiday party and product perks if you work in merchandising.

Cons

Super fast paced with a lot of red tape. Very corporate culture. "Mean Girl" syndrome is alive and well.

Pros

Discounts (20% off all products, 40% off Sephora brand products), great management, easy going staff, fun work environment, chance to move up into higher positions

Cons

Usually have to work two or more seasonal years before you are hired year long. There are always exceptions, constantly check the Sephora website for job openings.
