Pros

Gratis and good coworkers were the only reasons I stayed.

Cons

I worked at Sephora for about 4 years and recently it has gone downhill. They expect so much for little pay. They want you to dedicate your whole life to them but give little in return.

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.
