Pros

Fun environment, always updating products with latest and greatest things on the market for the true beauty enthusiast. Benefits & 401K for management team, corporate loss prevention is outstanding. Was a joy to work for at one point, and probably still is providing the right corporate representatives of your particular store.

Cons

Difficult to move up the ladder, unless you befriend the DM. 1 Beauty Consultant and 1 Cashier is all budget hours alot most of the time; very stressful to cover registers, loss prevention, and guest service. Checking out guests has turned into one big solicitation about surveys, rewards cards, magazines, suggesting salon services, etc.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
