Pros

Great growth company with a strong brand and internal culture. Strong growth in overall sales and in store count really makes Ulta a very stable choice. The pay for corporate is strong and the senior management team is very engaged and collaborative.

Cons

This is a very high growth company and as a result, is very difficult to work for. LOTS of overtime, stress and pressure is put on the teams. IT there is a very difficult place to work with very high demands for all employees and a true lack of work-life balance. The management team is focused on trying to improve things but I have seen a number of really good people completely fail at Ulta so anyone joining really should be confident that they can succeed in that type of environment.

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.
