Pros

It's a great learning environment with a lot of direct brand training. Gratis is also a huge bonus! No commission so less pressure on selling with more of an emphasis on getting to know your client and finding what is truly the best fit for them. Can definitely be a fun environment with the right team!

Cons

All boils down to Store Director, there are some great ones that make the store and fun and successful place to work and others that are completely out of touch with store practices. There should be a more tangible way to measure the success of SD's as that can affect the entire store.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to share your experience working at Sephora. I love how you mentioned that our decision to stear clear of a sales commission not only alleviates pressure on our cast, but truly allows us to best serve our client in an authentic and meaningful way. It is because of cast members like yourself with PASSION for our client that makes us a successful company. Thank you for all that you do to make Sephora a great place to work. And please know we take your feedback to heart. -Calvin

Pros

The discount on products is always a great thing. If you are very interested in skincare, makeup or fragrance then this is the place to be.

Cons

I feel as if a it of people want to be in charge. There are very few employees that are African American.
