Pros

Great place to start out if you're new to retail. Great employee discount, ESPECIALLY on Sephora brand. Work life balance policy make it easy for you to have a fexilble schedule. If you have have a good manager there can be room for advancement. No commision! You recieve a cut of the monthy bonus if store is productive. Free products from companies to try.

Cons

The pay could be better considering they focus on education. Depending on store managment can suck. They're return policy is too open. People will try to return anything without a reciept.

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.
