Pros

30% off discount is nice and the gratis can be good if you're at a location that has higher sales

Cons

never felt such high anxiety working retail. the culture is absolutely rancid and every one of those managers has extreme mean girl energy. it's impossible to make friends working there because of the extreme lengths that leadership goes into splitting the employees up, pay wasn't also great for the insane metrics they expected you to push. They also expected you to have insanely wide availability even though you'd only get scheduled once or twice a week??? so that made work-life balance very hard.

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.
