Pros

- Prestigious in terms of professional makeup used in the industry. - Great gratis given, and given often. - Freedom (for the most part) to span the floor and offer help when and where needed. - Good opportunity for experience with hands-on demonstrations to actual clients. - Product incentives provided when great service or sales is observed. - Huge variety of high-quality brands you're encouraged to try out and recommend.

Cons

- The employee demographics are dominantly female, and in my experience, co-workers and even management have shown very catty sides. Definitely noticed some ****talking. - Standing around for hours upon end, especially when business is slow, can be a drag. - In my particular location, hours were extremely hard to come by during some months. Some weeks, I was only scheduled a day or two when I'd requested 4-5.

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.
