Not that great. - Cashier Sephora Employee Review

Sephora isn't all that it's hyped up to be, it is a retail job after all. The customers are nice some days, rude other days. There isn't a work life balance. They want you to work for them full time hours but in a part time position. They also ignore your availability. I'll be scheduled times where Im not available, they don't care about you at all. I literally worked all summer and didn't have a summer vacation besides living in sephora. Where other girls were able to work once a week, why? I have no clue. They also take cashiers for granted. Sephora doesn't understand that a majority of the clients pass through cash and ask questions. We barely get any training because we're just cashiers so most of the time our answers are "sorry I actually haven't tried that product." Or I know some girls who lie and hype things up "yeah I love that product, it's amazing!" The pay is also a let down. People think you get paid a fair amount because it's a makeup store, but nope. McDonald's/superstore/Walmart make better pay than us. It's hard to grow outside of cash, there are a few success stories but rarely. Lots of favouritism. Some girls are extremely competitive, and they'll suck up.
