Pros

Career opportunities, fast paced environment, excellent leadership support. With CEO Mary Dillon at the helm Ulta Beauty has become the undisputed leader in the cosmetics industry and is a great company to be a part of. Core values are upheld every step of the way and as a General Manager you are given the right amount of freedom to uphold these values on a daily basis. Yearly leadership conference and leadership training throughout the year.

Cons

The workload can be enormous at times. Hourly payroll has improved but there is no room for slackers. The job requires a lot of physical work and being fast on your feet. Retail hours and the occasional rude customers

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.
