Pros

They focus on continuing education to help drive passion for tips and tricks and the products. In some ways I learned more about skincare ingredients at Sephora than at esthetician school. They give a lot of gratis, so you always have tons of free product to experiment with. As a fulltime employee, they do offer benefits.

Cons

Very high expectations and sales goals for noncompetitive hourly rate and no commission. Lots of pressure and a very catty work environment with an exhausting focus on personal appearance.

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.
