Pros
Sephora is a great way to gain knowledge about the beauty industry. It really is all about how hard you try. You won't get a ton of training, so you kind of have to teach yourself if you want to be really successful, but if you're a beauty junkie, it's a great place to be. Work/life balance for me was great, but I had a great relationship with my manager.
Cons
Retail is just a tough place to be for a life-long career because they expect so much out of you with little compensation. You will almost always have crazy hours and you deal with unappreciative customers constantly. It's a pretty good place to be if you're in retail though.
