Pros

My co-workers are very friendly and the company does offer a challenge to those who are looking for one. Also, having the opportunity to try new products before they hit the market is a perk.

Cons

Does not promote within. Many talented people have left the company because of being overlooked. Promotions are usually given to the people who complete the least amount of work and the company is too top heavy. ULTA will not spend the money to update needed systems or increase head count to complete the workload that it will take to build the business.

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
