      Merchandiser Interview

      Mar 7, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bolingbrook, IL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Bolingbrook, IL) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      It was a three step interview with three employees in the merchandise department. Interviewing with each professional allowed me to learn more about ULTA, it's core goals and culture. It was an overall enjoyable interview.

      Merchandiser Interview

      Mar 12, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Royal Oak, MI
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Ulta Beauty (Royal Oak, MI) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Started with Initial Phone Interview. No one on one interview was ever conducted, I interviewed in a group of 5 other candidates. They were hiring for 3 spots. It was unorganized, and I felt they would have had a better process if they did one on one first, as one of the girls was absolutely not a fit and they could have had someone else in that group interview spot. The interview was in the back stock room, so it was distracting as employees ran around and radios went off, and the manager interviewing us was the only one on staff that day, so she had to keep getting up to help customers - leaving the interviewees alone in the stock room.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you handle upset customers? What do you do if you think someone is stealing? How do you handle co-workers with bad attitudes? How much experience do you have with make-up/skincare/haircare products? Upsell this lipstick to me.
