Pros
I work at Sephora in a freestanding store and started as a seasonal worker last year. I was never officially hired as core (as far as I was told) but I still work there currently. As far as the company goes, if I could get into corporate, I would. I can’t rave enough about Sephora and I’m still grateful to even be working there because I enjoy the spirit of the culture and the clients so much. They invest so much in training and you really will learn as much as you want. It’s very easy to become well rounded professionally if you’re willing to take advantage of the training given to you both directly and through experience as far as the training given to your leadership. •The company values are amazing. •“Daily Dose” every shift (product knowledge, brand info, videos on how to better assist clients) •Always something new to talk about, product or brand-wise. •Touch Base every shift (numbers, facts, figures, pep talk)
Cons
•Middlemen DIC’s kinda suck sometimes. They can get on a real power trip over the mic. •Most people backstage tend to have a mini superiority complex if they are in any position of authority. •I don’t think I’ve ever gotten gratis in the 7 months I’ve been there even though it tends to be a selling point. •Certain leaders aren’t leaders at all, they are bullies and I don’t feel like I should have to be the one to point it out. •For me personally, I’ve been there a while and don’t even have a costume.
