Pros

Great discount, free gratis basically thrown at you, lots of training and education, room for advancement and growth, zero micro-managing.

Cons

As a former manager I had little to no work-life balance, my life revolved around my job. The benefits weren't exactly amazing and the part-timers that we hired were always blissfully unaware of how to do their job.

Pros

Sephora is a good place to work for a retail job. They pay higher than most other retail jobs but you are still making a retail salary. If you are someone who has passion for the beauty industry you will get a lot of free products, which is awesome. They also pay out bonuses based on how well your store does, so that contributes to a team environment. It's a fun place to work depending on who is on your shift.

Cons

Your schedule is a retail schedule. Although they preach work-life balance as one of their core values, you don't always get that. Each store is different. Some stores will not pay you a bonus because the store itself isn't doing well, and a lot of that has to depend on the sales goals set forth by corporate management. So that can really damage the morale of the store. It can also be a bad place to work if you have to deal with rumors and gossip. They don't pay you enough money to live on, but management won't give you more hours if you work a second job. I had management bully me because I had to leave this job for something that paid better, even though I tried to give plenty of notice! That was a mistake!
