Pros

Gratis. Discount. Mostly great clients. Cosmetic girls are fun.

Cons

Expectations of making millions in cosmetics with very little demonstration time with the guest. Discourages artistry and makeup application. Full makeup applications are spposed to only be done by the esthetician, however they are given very little hours, cannot meet demand to affect sales, and are better at skin than makeup application. They are also not included in cosmetics trainings, and as an educator, it makes no sense. Cosmetic girls are catty. Hours are cut, run on skeleton crew to make hours, schedules are late and always a problem.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
