Pros

A great place to work if you are a beginner and looking for a great place to learn the basics.

Cons

This company does not care at all about their product consultants as well as their clients all it is to them is how much money they can make and how fast they can make it . This is due to over saturation.

Corporate doesn't know company values.

Business Outlook

Pros

Management structure in store is built for success, and focus on education is high.

Cons

Store management is instructed to build an educational and supportive environment, and to focus on the many opportunities employees have for advancement. This environment does not exist beyond the store level however, and regional management will make no effort to prepare or assist you in your advancement. It's unfortunate that the values Sephora claims to represent are clearly not those of its' regional management.
