Pros

Gratis, pay, beauty industry knowledge, special events

Cons

- retail hours - upper management is totally out of touch with the stores even though they do monthly visits - unrealistic daily goals and budgets that need to be met - your ability to grow with the company is extremely dependent on your store director or specialist. that being said, if they don't like you on a personal level, you will never advance - more and more of the people at corporate are jumping ship and that makes me worry about the future of this company

Pros

Friendly, knowledgeable, supportive coworkers. Management is generally pretty good. You get to work with all the fun products and learn directly from brand reps. And the customers are there to learn about the products - and you get to talk to them about the best products. If you're excited about Sephora, go apply!

Cons

Hours vary based on the time of the year.
