        - Company values are lived - purpose of making our clients feel beautiful and confident is felt throughout the company - FUN employee experiences (free product to coincide with brand launches) and events - work life balance is a priority at the FSC - we are working on ways to make it more prevalent in stores

        Cons

        - compensation won’t be as competitive as it is within some Tech companies

        Advice to Management

        Keep obsessing about the client.

        Current Employee - Operations Associate 
        Recommends
        Positive Outlook
        No Opinion of CEO

        I have been working at Sephora part-time for less than a year

        Pros

        Sephora truly lives by their values, at least at the location I work at. Everyone is treated with respect, we are celebrated for our good work, creativity and initiative are encouraged, and open communication is valued. Being around beauty products Free products consistently Room for growth Discounts

        Cons

        The pay is a little low, and part time hours are never guaranteed. One week you can have 30 hrs, the next 10. Retail hours aren’t great. Plus, operations hours are literally all over the place. There is definitely room for growth and development, but opportunities aren’t frequent because people stay a long time; therefore It’s hard for part time people to move into full time roles.
