Sephora reviews

I worked at FSC (headquarters) in the Education department. My boss was an icy micro-manager. Colleagues threw me under the bus constantly. By pointing fingers, they were able to avoid scrutiny themselves. By approaching my job with a team-oriented attitude, I set myself up to be incredibly vulnerable. I was also lied to during the interview process. The job was much different than advertised; the enjoyable tasks of my role should have been 50-70% but instead they were 5-10% and the rest was paper pushing (see comment about working under a micro-manager). They also claimed to have good work-life balance, but I was overworked to the point that I had multiple hard deadlines every single day, and everyone as far as I could tell was also completely stressed out and dumped on. When I tried to raise any of this to management, I was treated with absolute contempt and disdain, even though I know I wasn't the first person to bring some of these issues (especially the icy micro-manager) to their attention. I have been in some toxic situations before, but this one was the worst by far. RUN AWAY.

Where to begin, for starters you’re promised training and then months go by and you’ve barely been trained at all. Sephora has a mean girl culture in it’s merchandising department, the gossip is endless, the dirty looks and whispering are provided on a daily basis. You can report things to HR but nothing gets resolved, you’re told “it’s like this everywhere.” Management is fake and they don’t become concerned about bullying until you report it to HR and then they try to be your “friend.” Also, the MC role is HOURLY, don’t count on recieveing overtime, it is so hard to get all the work done because your days are cut in half by meetings, setting up lunches, etc. How well you’re liked determines how you do here, it’s a draining popularity contest.
