Sephora reviews

For the FSC Corporate office: Major decisions are based on emotion and assumptions, rather than data and logic, and without buy-in from affected business partners. Cross-functional departments have drastically competing agendas and there is constant in-fighting between the groups. Attempts to make the system better are met with non-support if they don't further the personal agendas of the Director-and-above level individuals. 90% women workforce in every department other than IT & Finance, More gender balance is needed. Systems and processes are archaic and inefficient, and upper management doesn't support or fund improving them. Leaders are promoted based on personal relationships rather than ability to move the business forward. Operates as a start-up when it should be more structured and linear (i.e. responsibilities of people in different departments often overlap, no real career advancement plan, major initiatives are shots-in-the-dark rather than thought through logically). There are no checks-and-balances, and no personal accountability. The stores are pressured to do more and more with less and less resources. The once-promising values system has lost its impact since the individuals that initiated them left the company. The best people are driven away, only to leave the mediocre in charge. The result of all the above is a very disorganized organization that doesn't keep good records, doesn't make good decisions, and is only kept alive because women are addicted to makeup and will always buy the product if it somehow reaches the stores.

Expect a career - not gonna happen, expect raise - 15 cents a year is a raise, everything else is negotiable to $1 a year, if you worth more no one cares. All the values that they talk about are only in the book, all they want is SELL- SELL- SELL. No commission, no thank you for multi-clienting 4 people at a time for 6-8 hours straight and a miserable bonus. 40% of my co-workers quit before 6 month of employment. I never got a full-time position. I'm quitting this month and very happy about it.
