Pros

Great sales experience and immersed in the beauty industry is one reason sephora is a fun place to work. Sephora is big on training and education so that we can pass on that information to clients.

Cons

It's a retail industry so you work a lot of nights and weekends and holidays. Although sephora is good about working to maintain a "work/life balance" it can still be hard when you're trying to work normal hours.

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.
