Pros

some good entry level experience. Met a few decent people that I hold dear.

Cons

Extreme sexism against straight males. You will be highly outnumbered. I had multiple female coworkers tell me that I was being harassed explicitly because I was a straight male. It's also very high school. Coworkers will compete for your attention solely because you are one of few males then they will fight amongst themselves. If your coworker is supposed to start at 9am, she may spend 45min putting on makeup before being available to work yet if you are 1min late for your shift, you are reprimanded. I've also had female coworkers make insulting remarks such as "your hair looks stupid today" and "your pants are too tight". My female neighbor also hung all her semi-nude male calendar pictures pinned in her cubicle yet I had to go meet with HR for telling a coworker her eyeshadow was pretty.

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.
