      Pros

      I love working for Sephora and what Sephora stands for. Going on a beauty journey with so many different clients is so rewarding. You learn so many great communication skills, selling skills, multitasking skills, and just great people skills. Not to mention you learn so much about the beauty industry!

      Cons

      It's retail, hours can be tough.

      Sephora Digital is messy

      Pros

      Great work/life balance. Diverse staff.

      Cons

      Upper management is a mess. Failure to recognise talents, and tendency to promote people based on who is socialising with whom, and not based on merit. No communication between upper management & other staff either. Staffers well-being is hardly looked-out for, with overcrowded office. Must be a fire hazard at this state.

      Corporate Culture and Management KILLED my love of this brand

      Pros

      You feel proud of yourself for getting the job, it sounds cool to say you work at Sephora, you do get access to great brands, there is free beauty products

      Cons

      Backstabbing, politics and cattiness run rampant. Tenured employees and VPs are only stakeholders. Extremely top-heavy company. Do not expect a voice. HR is the worst department because they have no power, and worse, no empathy. If you are unhappy, you will be shown the door. The compensation does not make up for the horrible company culture. There are no "bed-side manners" from any execs. Be warned - you think it will be awesome but you will end up hating your life.
