Pros

All the girls are very sweet and work as a team. Break room is pretty big, training is offered through the computer every week. Every month associates receive gratis (free) items ranging from travel size to full size so that we can test out the products ourselves at home and learn more about them. Every 30 hours worked I believe is equal to 2 hours of collected paid time off for part timers. Break room is the one that Kohl's offers, there's no separate break room for Sephora, but its nice to get to know the Kohls associates as well. Its a pretty big breakroom and sometimes Kohl's management will buy everyone food, especially for events like Christmas, new years. Associate discount is 15% and applies to Sephora at Kohl's (no free standing Sephora store) and towards any Kohl's items as well. During holidays, discounts are BIG for associates especially if you have the Beauty Insider reward program with Sephora.

Cons

Hours given are not the best, but of course that depends on your availability. It can get very busy, customers take a lot of your time with things so it requires a lot of patience and time management as there are things to be done other than helping and ringing out customers. Pay attention to the trainings as customers can be very specific with their concerns, often asking for a certain ingredient they need to avoid or are looking for. So it is important to know not just the brands but the items/ingredients themselves specifically. Some things (gift cards, returns) from main Sephora stores cannot be transferred to Kohl's Sephoras so it causes a lot of confusion and upset with the customers.

Pros

Pay is very good once you start getting raises. Weekly pay

Cons

Genuinely everything else, the pay is that high because they have to pay you over 25 just to put up with the awful environment. terrible structure, terrible management, no accountability, cliquey mean girl environment. managers are allowed to sit around and do essentially nothing while supervisors carry 100% of the load and there is no checks and balances to ensure management does the right thing. Corporate and HR genuinely don't care if certain people sit on their butt While others keep the business running. Credit card pushing is absolutely Off the Wall insane. Getting enough credit cards is all the company cares about and managers do not help. Managers are allowed to have no history with getting any credit cards at all and corporate doesn't bat an eye. If you try to speak out about anything that's going on you'll just get fired. Retaliation is allowed and encouraged.
