Pros

I loved every day I went in to my Sephora! They do a great job at selecting and retaining their top talent. I believe Sephora is the best company I have ever worked for because they truly CARE! They devote several different resources, time in money educating their staff s that the customers are educated! I believe this this what makes this company better than the rest of the beauty companies! Sephora employees are not there to just show you, they are there to TEACH and to enhance your life! I personally prefer the Sephora inside JcPenney model, because the girls are knowledgeable about all things in Sephora versus having zones (i.e. color, fragrance, skincare) and only knowing solid info about their zones, like in the main Sephora. Oh and the gratis! BEST perk in the world! Sephora is the only company I could see myself actually wanting to stay in and grow with.

Cons

It's retail pay and hours, so that can be difficult but the culture of Sephora makes it well worth it. Sephora inside JcPenney has a couple kinks they are working out, but it because they are growing like crazy. They are really resurrecting JcPenney!

Pros

Loved learning more about products and working with most of the other team members. Helping people find products that worked for them was really fun.

Cons

Managers are WEIRD. They play favorites and will talk about it while you are standing right there. Practically make you beg for hours. If you are anything other than the current viral makeup style look, you will get less opportunities. Leadership acts like mean high school girls. Working here took away a lot of my passion for the beauty industry for a long time. Also, when it comes to gratis - why are you letting certain managers walk out with 4 bags of things that they have hand picked? Then leaving whatever they discarded to be handed out??? Constantly had missing gratis from my bag because of managers going through the products they wanted. Scheduling is not flexible or even makes sense. Whoever they like gets better shifts. Would constantly have extra shifts added with no notice until an hour before the shift. Or shifts taken away because a favorite wanted them.
