Pros

Ulta has a nice atmosphere and the store stays very clean. Working with a large amount of make up brands makes work interesting.

Cons

Managers are very disrespectful to staff and customers. They sit around in their office all day long and call up to the front register to tell the sales associate to work harder, while they are just surfing the web. While they only hire petite little girls they also expect 2 or 3 of them to stock the entire store in one morning.

Pros

Great discount Gratis is good but having worked for Sephora as well, theirs is way better. Fun customers most of the time

Cons

Glorified babysitter when your team is incompetent Store can quickly become a wreck when one manager isn’t pulling their weight Too many hats in this role and way too overbearing. I thought I’d need to see a neurologist for migraines but it turns out I was just way too stressed in my role. ai. And a big push for more and more ai in the future.
