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

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.
