Not the Worst Ever

Pros

Working around all the different beauty products and brands was fun. Sometimes reps come in from the brands and teach you about new products. You can earn gratis (free products) and a lot of times reps bring gratis when they come.

Cons

Sephora is no worse than any other retail job I suppose. (I am not at all fond of retail.)You do a lot of ringing up customers and not enough making up customers. I didn't do as much makeup as I would like and I felt like just a cashier.
