Pros
There was tons of free product given out, as well as gifts given for in-store and inter-store competitions. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, and the discounts were good. The managers were big on educating us about product, so I left ULTA feeling like I had gained a lot of information about not just the products, but about all sorts of aspects of beauty and personal care. Our ULTA was also particularly close-knit since we put together the store, and opened and ran it with the same staff. The managers were super understanding and encouraging people-- an overall great place to work!
Cons
The staff room in the back was very, very small. Long hours to be standing, and a lot of time was spent with nothing to do. Our break system wasn't the best, and we had very little time to eat during our lunch blocks. They also made us carry these really tacky transparent purses to make sure we weren't stealing any of the product, which made it a bit uncomfortable during that time of the month. The stock room system was also really messy, which made restocking difficult, and finding out about product nearly impossible, but you figure out your own system eventually.
