Pros

ULTA is the place to be if you are looking to build a retail career. Work hard, take coaching, improve always and your management team will get you promoted. Pay is good, good benefits, great people to work with, training from vendors.

Cons

Training for prompted internally is basically nonexistent. It pretty much is "congratulations now do something". Hour for stores are very light. Managers often ring guest out, are the MOD and a sales person all in one shift. Work family balance also is hard. Especially during holiday when ULTA tells managers what days and times you need to work.

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.
