Pros

Abundant Free Products. Lots of exposure (though almost no education) on many top selling brands. Opportunity to meet lots of interesting clients.

Cons

Comparatively poor pay . Blatant favoritism by store leadership. Never can count on your schedule due to numerous "on -call" hours and being sent home early if traffic is down. When you're hired, great promises are made about the potential to earn monthly sales bonuses, but the goals are continually raised making a bonus virtually unattainable. Often have to wait ten to fifteen minutes (when already off the clock) to have coats or personal articles inspected by management for stolen merchandise be.fore being permitted to leave the store. Turnover is huge. Benefits are expensive and minimal.

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.
