Pros

sephora was a company that pushed their cast to be the best the can, the inner growth is amazing, and most stores have a very low turn over rate due to the way the company treats their cast.

Cons

Politics... acting a way that feels a bit "cookie cutter" if you want to grow you have to put yourself in a box and be okay with going through the motions.

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.
