Pros

Learning about good makeup and hair products and, over time, building relationships with frequent customers, some of whom are the nicest people. Oftentimes, the relationships you build with other employees turn into close friendships.

Cons

Members of management are the biggest con about the Cary Ulta. I've seen excellent management teams in the past. This group, however, is made up of the most Immature, lazy, overly demanding, irresponsible, unsympathetic, selfish, derogatory, hypocritical, unorganized, clueless people I've ever had to work with.

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.
