Pros

Incredibly passionate and Inspiration leadership. Sephora is also on the cutting edge of new technology within the beauty/retail space so it's an exciting time to be working here. Being owned by LVMH helps in regards to incredible benefits and an emphasis on work/life balance (4 weeks paid vacation at hire date; summer Friday's from Memorial Day through Labor Day; after work events, etc.)

Cons

They pay right on the line with what an average salary is for every single position offered - no more and no less. With so many tech/techy lifestyle brands in this city that pay over the average, it's surprising that this hasn't changed. They will lose people because of it. Sephora is growing at an extremely fast rate and they can't keep up with the growth - burnout is a HUGE factor here. In order to stay on top, we take on more projects that we can handle. Not enough resources.

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.
