Pros

Upper management (regional vp's, senior executives) were amazing and absolutely accessible. Decent pay and great benefits. Room to grow in store. Everyone makes bonuses.

Cons

Beyond Lead positions, you have to become a specialist (assistant to store director/manager). Becoming a specialist is extremely difficult in small markets. If you are not in an area (like Houston for example) with several stores in close proximity, you have little to no chance to advance. You must be at minimum an "elevated specialist" to move up the corporate ladder. In many cases, that is just not possible. Make friends with your DM if you ever plan on advancing beyond a nonexempt employee. (everyone is hourly except Specialist and Store Director).

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.
