Pros
Great company and values. Love the concept they try to portray in most stores, however that doesn't apply equally in all locations.
Cons
Poor localized choices and career growth in smaller areas.
Advice to Management
Pay more attention to the lower volume stores. I transferred from a high volume and unfortunately being with the company for so long has lead me to leave due to the growth opportunities and atmosphere. Also, work life balance doesn't exist in retail.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Sephora full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
You work with some amazing people in store, a great variety of backgrounds. You might think the culture would be catty in a Makeup store, but it’s not at all. There are great training opportunities, and if you like working in retail, there’s no better medium than cosmetics to connect with clients and have fun selling.
Cons
There have been some reviews on this site from the corporate office, saying the organization is burning from the inside out. You feel that in store too. Changes in corporate lead to a disconnect in what is asked for in stores. And leaders in the field don’t stand up for what is reasonable (or even profitable). Everyone is a yes man, otherwise you’re labeled as having a fixed mindset.
Decisions for trainings, special assignments, and especially promotions are based in politics and favoritism. One person liking you will make or break your whole career.Advice to Management
Listen to your frontline employees. Allow and encourage dissenting opinions. Use a collaborative approach for people decisions like promotions.
