SEPHORA Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Eagerness to improve upon what we already do extremely well.

Review from Marketing Dept

one family and sense of togetherness and common vision

I appreciate having a say in the direction of my work. I feel like my contributions make a difference, which is gratifying.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The best thing about Sephora is the culture they have created over the years and the Diversity & Inclusion they have incorporated. I've worked for other retail companies in the past and no one has the culture like Sephora, which is why there is such great tenure here.

Everyone whom I've interacted with is supportive and enthusiastic about what we're working on which makes me feel the same.

Review from Design Dept

Open communication, empowered teams, good core value system

Balanced, respectful and open communication culture with a great feeling of inclusion and empowerment.

Review from Operations Dept

My manager guides me always in taking up new work which gives me a scope to learn, And my team also will be very communicative in sharing any new ideas and brining me up to the speed on the new things

the company invests in and values DEI at all levels

Review from HR Dept

The inclusion and diversity of Sephora, and all the activities and workshops that are offered to help you really embrace the culture and yourself relative to your job role.

Love that it's a female-forward company. There is very little politics which is nice and people try to help each other out.

Review from Operations Dept

people have a growth and winning mindset

Care and respect. Knowledge and passion.

Review from HR Dept

Diversity is not only accepted, but a true pillar of our company culture. We recognize the need to do better and are holding teams accountable to thinking with an outward mindset

Review from HR Dept

It is an inclusive, supportive environment with a great work life balance.

Review from Marketing Dept

Sephora's commitment to DE&I shines in all aspects of our work culture and we are always trying to do more and be better. That kind of environment is so hard to come by in a corporate setting, and it feels great knowing that this company is doing it right.

Review from Marketing Dept

The most positive things about our culture and environment is how inclusive and encouraging it is.

Review from Design Dept

We have clear values that are regularly communicated, aligned with our company priorities and initiatives, and we actually WALK THE WALK.

Sephora strives to be inclusive and works very hard to ensure its DE & I initiatives are successful

Review from Operations Dept

Collaborative and everyone has a "let's do this" attitude

Review from Operations Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Air conditioners will make the job a job .Right now everyone is miserable. We walk around with towels around our neck to keep wiping sweat

Everything. They have to be fare with everybody

Review from Sales Dept

We need better leads, i can not stress this enough. The store director treats us like we are five year olds. The executive lead does not value our work life balance and shcedules us for either low hours or strange hours. The operations lead is a nightmare to work with, beauty lead withholds gratis.

Talk with the ones that are territorial focus them on team work building towards same results if they dont get aligned let them go

The Let me team needs to be trained On leader ship.

The pass off system I hate it.

Treat everyone fairly as possible please
