Pros

Great Products! The people in stores are generally so great and very friendly!

Cons

Unfortunately there is very much a "Mean Girl" culture at Sephora (corporate NOT Stores) If you are willing and prepared to go into that lions den be sure you're eyes are wide open. There is a lot, I mean a lot, of gossip, back bitting and very little camaraderie. It's so sad because you really want this to be a woman empowerment kind of place when it's actually a living embodiment of all the negative stereotypes that follow corporate women around. Some of the leadership don't know and a lot of the leadership simply don't care. Many of the female leaders are in competition with each other so they don't care if other EAs of other execs are getting abused or mistreated.

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.
