Pros

Free Product.. that’s the only pro

Cons

TOXIC work environment from HR, VP, Regionals, DMs, down to “leadership” within the stores. “Leaders” routinely violate codes of ethics, company policies, as well as state and federal labor laws. Forget complaining to HR, because they’ll just try to sweep the illegal, unethical behaviors under the rug to save face. All they care about is sales and putting on a facade to appear to be customer-service oriented. They care absolutely nothing about the employees outside of management. It’s a ‘if you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours’ mentality. They purport to care about mental health, physical safety, diversity, and inclusion, but “leaders” consistently exhibit discriminatory behaviors, speaking negatively about those with qualified disabilities, differing cultures, genders, sexual identities, and the like. Bullying and gaslighting is commonplace here and you will be targeted for giving the slightest bit of that energy back to them. Dead end job, with no real opportunities for advancement, “Unprofessional” is putting it lightly to describe those in “leadership” here. RUN FOR THE HILLS if you value yourself in the slightest. THE WORST decision i ever made was working for this toxic 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.
