Amazing work enviroment
Events Coordinator (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: free makeup, advancement opportunities, great support
Cons: not enough quality in seniority placements
It gave me a great sense of community. My coworkers were a blast to work with. It was both stimulating and educational at the same time. Workload is heavy, however, manageable.

Great Brand to be with forever
Cast Member (Former Employee), Skokie, IL –
Pros: free make up lesson from pros, free make up artist certification, free full size products during trainings
Cons: not stable if you only work part-time, 20% discount only which isnt alot
If you are fortunate enough to get hired full-time then you can be with them forever. They offer a great benefits package to full-timers. But if you are like me and end up as a part-timer or seasonal you cna be cut at anytime. You get no benefits, other than all the free makeup and products you can earn by attending speciality trainings hosted by brand – more...  pros. – less

Fun workplace, horrible bosses.
Skin Care Consultant/Cashier (Former Employee), Lexington, KY –
Pros: great work environment, wonderful co-workers, able to work your way up
Cons: bad managers, too many hours
A typical day at work consisted of cleaning work area, checking out customers, and selling skin care products. I was hired as a part-time employee, working 32 hours a week, every week. I tried to reduce hours, but it could not be done. Once school started in the fall, my hours would not reduce and my boss would not work with my schedule. I had no option – more...  but to quit. Later, that boss was terminated. The other people I worked with have continued to stay my long-term, very best friends. – less

fun place to work
Cash-Wrap (Former Employee), Fayetteville, NC –
Pros: learning about the products we sold in store
Cons: it was only seasonal
A typical day at work i would come in ring customer out and when it was slow dust. I learned about the products we sold. I worked with my manager a few times, not much. My co-workers where friendly and knowledgeable. The hardest part of the job was having to leaving. The most enjoyable part of the job was trying the products we sold.

Cosmetic playground
Cashier/Color Artist (Former Employee), Holyoke, MA –
A typical day consisted of interacting with many different people on a daily basis.Talking to customers asking questions in order to better understand the look that they wanted to achieve or deciding on their next signature scent is what I took pride in doing .I learned working here that I really do have what it takes to make people feel happy and better – more...  about themselves simply by listening to what they have to say and knowing how to find the best solution.I love the cosmetic world because the opportunities for creativity are endless and I could express my love for creating with every shift.That is what I enjoyed the most.However management was very unstable and they were not people that I felt that I could go to and express what I needed to make myself better moving forward .Making the environment feel very cold and superficial.That was the hardest part of the job. – less

Amazing company to learn from
Color Specialist (Current Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: gratis
Cons: not enough employee appreciation
A typical day would be changing into my costume, have my beginning touch base, and sell on the floor. I demonstrated how products work and taught clients how to use it themselves. I make sure to use multiple client service and transitioned into fragrance, skin care and makeup worlds. I have grown so much from working here, the emphasis this company – more...  puts on trainings makes all the difference. Sephoras high customer service standards really push you to be the best you can. The most enjoyable part of this job were the various product trainings given to us by brand reps. The hardest part was trying to win the difficult contests we had as a store. My co workers are so supportive and we work really well as a team, management pushes us a lot and even though it is a lot to deal with I can really see how much I have developed as an employee and an individual. – less

Exciting overall experience.
Cashier/ Recovery (Current Employee), San Diego, CA –
My management in San Diego was amazing! They were really flexible with taking days off and always went above and beyond to fullfill the needs of clietns and staff. You learn so much every single day. Reps come in the store to explain to each person about products and then you get free stuff for listening. The best perks are fee make-up, and skincare.

Productive and fun place to work
Color Consultant (Current Employee), Houston, TX –
I enjoy working with people and making someone feel good about themselves. My management team and my co-workers are absolutely amazing. The hardest part of the job is when someone comes in with a need and we try everything we can and we are not successful.

It was a learning expierene
Picker (Current Employee), Aberdeen, MD –
A typical day at work was long and tiring, I learned what a warehouse job was like cause ive never done it before. It taught me that I was stronger and more energetic then I Thought. Management was fine in the beginning but I lost respect for them they lied to us to get staff to work harder, promised us full time positions for the individuals that met – more...  quota or their standards then they just got rid of us. I loved alot of my coworkers and I made alot of friends but because of the pressure they put on us to do the most, or meet the numbers alot of individuals were stressed and ignorant, shoving and pushing to get past, I was even hit with carts, there was no manners like excuse me or sorry, or even could u please move!
The hardest part of the job for me was the competivness and rudeness. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and makin friends, also it was fast pace which i like, i like to stay busy, makes the day go by faster, and it was long days. I also loved the fact that it was so fast paced and physical that I lost 20 pounds. As stated before the most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people and makin friends and losin the weight. – less

team member performing cashier duties (Current Employee), Rancho Cucamonga, CA –
The time I was with Sephora I loved it! It was fun and rewarding. The team members where all great to work with..... the only thing I wasnt very pleased with is the amount of hours one gets and the way that is arranged. Otherwise GREAT place to work part time.

A fun, energetic environment with so much to learn.
Fragrance Consultant (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA –
Pros: free products, discounts, endless samples
Cons: uniforms, strict protocols
I initially worked for the company only because I needed some income but once I found out the benefits to working there I immediately became excited to work there. They train you on which area of the beauty world interests you, either Make-up, Fragrance, Skincare, Hair or Just a well rounded knowledge of everything.
