Not acceptable in Bay Area especially - leadership is not inspiring or visionary - very political and very relationship driven - terrible career pathing/opps - HQ office is dated, crowded and has no meeting space. - incompetent HR - employees are typically not empowered

Pros

Friendly, knowledgeable, supportive coworkers. Management is generally pretty good. You get to work with all the fun products and learn directly from brand reps. And the customers are there to learn about the products - and you get to talk to them about the best products. If you're excited about Sephora, go apply!

Cons

Hours vary based on the time of the year.
