Pros

When you go into a Sephora and ask any consultant what do they love MOST about the company they will tell you 'The people' 99% of the time. However, aside from that what else would they say??? The teams in stores are infectious! Very happy, go-lucky upbeat people to work with. No matter what Sephora store you go to! - Also, Sephora has a lot of tenure in the company from cashier to Store Director. People tend to stay for a while.

Cons

- The Pay - You enjoy coming to work until you look at your paycheck and wonder where the rest of it is. This does not only go for associate but the management team as well, even those on Salary. Starting someone off right at minimum wage is unacceptable. - Favoritism is from associate all the way to the store director/GM population. Hard work & integrity does not get you promotion, it's about 'who is liked' **Always Remember this** - Increases - During increase time in July, the max increase you will get is .40. Yes, 40 cents if you are lucky! Can you imagine working hard day in and day out and come time for your yearly review you get 20 cents for a good job. HA!! - Benefits - Worse benefits of any company I have ever worked for

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.
