Pros

ULTA does marketing campaigns to all area households and runs a big box store in one of the top retail areas in my area. They use craigs list to reach out to local stylists and lead me to believe I was applying for a full time position. They did not conduct a very professional interview, but I was till interested because I just moved into this town and I kow they have good walk-in traffic.

Cons

The company seems to have no respect for the idea that a person does have to maintain a certain income in order to survive. They were deeply offended because I told them that's needed a chance to think about the fact that they were only offering a part time job even after they demanded that I bring a model to their store and perform my skills FOR FREE to demonstrate my abilities. What other business in the world requires people to come I. And do the job before you can be hired (or a part time job) when the state authorities require you to obtain a professional license to perform this job. They are arrogant and focus only on their needs and certainly cannot attract condone the practice as fair treatment. They offered a job and quickly said they were stil interviewing because I said I needed time to think because I had indicated I was seeking full time employment. the response I got was "that's how we do it here, everyone starts with a minimal schedule. So why did they Lead me to believe I was interviewing for a full time position all the way through this process.

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.
