Pros

amazing people, the company culture is great, you will learn a lot working there and it's a great place to start your career in the beauty industry (or as a part time job to supplement your income).

Cons

employees are paid well below industry standard and made to feel grateful for even that ("because we appreciate you so much here's a nine cent raise for the year"). management is a mess and they think by replacing all of their employees their issues will stop...then act surprised when the new group of people get just as disgruntled as the ones who just left--the issue isn't who you hire, it's how you treat them. very little room for growth within the company and they love to make false promises. they expect full time employees to give their entire lives to the company for very little in return.

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.
