Pros

I started off with a fresh mind and happy to go to work, but then I saw the true colors of "Ulta Beauty" and my nightmare ensued after the 1st year...

Cons

I was supposed to be a Prestige Consultant, but they kept me on the registers and I didn't learn anything new. They make MANY promises that aren't kept, no communication with managers, they play favorites, people don't do their jobs and then blame other people for failure, no positive reinforcement. Nothing. This company was the worst company I ever worked for! They say they can't pay employees what we're worth because the company is broke, but they can afford to house Khloe Kardashian and Gweneth Paltrow and other celebrities to make an appearance at last year's Corporate Conferences which only GM's get to go to....This is an example of a company with rich CEO's who keep getting richer and don't care about the floor levels at all! OH and the best part is there is "Blackout Dates" and you CAN NOT request off from October-January. This corporation tries to run your life, you work so hard and still can't get ahead! No training, no gratis program, I worked at Sephora before and it was 100 times better than this! It is definitely the "drug store" of the makeup industry!

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
