Pros
Loved my coworkers, the Dermalogica training was great, 25% discount, salon was tight knit & I learned a lot from veteran employees. Salon employees receive free services, customers and tips were generous.
Cons
They got rid of the best manager I've ever worked for & brought in someone no one can stand. My hours were cut severely & I was expected to do everything with nothing and FOR nothing ( min wage.) We were micromanaged to death. Breaks are few & if you have physical limitations it's not the job for you. You're expected to constantly recruit people for facials & do all the salon duties if you don't have a client. If they no show too bad; you have to do conversions instead. I have a painful autoimmune disease & it finally became too much. My body decided my fate at Ulta for me & I don't miss the long hours, not having life outside of work & the emotional & physical pain for min wage ( commission structure is a joke.) Licensed professionals deserve better than this; I also have a college degree BUT beauty is my passion. If that were the focus instead of the almighty dollar then they'd have unlimited success. Also the clear bags/ check every time one leaves the store is humiliating. That's what cameras/ security is for. 3/4 of the salon left at once so that's saying something. My GM bad mouthed them afterwards, + they were all friends of mine. I stayed too long being miserable.
