Pros

free gratis, the faced pace work environment allows you to deal with different types of clients in a short amount of time, brand rep trainings

Cons

no work life balance, no room for growth- regardless of what you were promised upon hire, compared to other cosmetic retailers, low pay, sephora feels that people who manage old navy, starbucks and pier one are great managers of cosmetics and beauty and will recruite these people to managament positions before promoting those who have a proven track record of exhbiting sephora standards

Pros

fun getting gratis and hosting in-store events, meeting brand ambassadors/managers, socializing with clients

Cons

manager created a weird environment -- coaching moments were sometimes extremely aggressive for a retail environment; strict on not applying makeup to clients unless they purchase a service. once made me move from a disabled client quickly because I was "spending too much time with them" and to further boost the store sales. felt extremely unethical.
