Pros

Free stuff from different brands Monthly bonuses (sometimes) Trainings Employee discount

Cons

Be advised... This company may be up there on the Forbes list but it depends in what store you work at. I worked at this company for years and went through 4 store managers, one that was fired for sexually harassing employees. Salaries are competitive but they cheat people who have worked there for years and have new people come in with higher salaries, that's not fair. They will cut your hours and your days when they don't make budget. Good luck being able to pay your bills on those weeks. But the store managers will make a bonus on your behalf. No benefits unless you are full time and they don't give those out often. Don't walk.. Run in the opposite direction!

Pros

I've worked at two different locations in different cities. Both locations have WONDERFUL management, they are always super understanding. They lead with integrity and passion for beauty. Gratis is always a plus! But being apart of a team that has your back and truly wants to see you thrive makes all the difference!

Cons

I really don't have any cons for Sephora. They have poured into me the same way I've poured into the clients that come into the store. My only wish would be that Flex employees also receive gratis because they too need training products in order to recommend brands to clients.

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.
