Pros

Gratis is great, discount is great, clients are great. Every other employee you work with feels the same way you do.

Cons

Managers and trainers expect you to have a plastic smile at all times and somehow push to sell anything and everything until the client literally says "no more". I saw 8 girls quit in one month and I've heard multiple stories of them being sued.

Pros

I would say the only pro to the job was the employee discount. The sporadic gratis didn't hurt either.

Cons

working inside ULTA. my demographic was horrible. unfortunately it was a leap decision, and I hope other locations have better team productivity.
