Pros

Room to advance, encouraging environment, pay is good compared to our competition. Love the gratis! Love working with the customers. For the most part a good work-life balance.

Cons

Ulta needs to consider what cutting hours is doing to their bottom line. No sales people on the floor means that good customers are walking out dissatisfied. Cutting hours in your prestige department is taking sales away from the company. People want and like customer service. So many people are leaving there frustrated and empty handed. Cutting hours also causes Ulta to lose good employees. Managers are often over worked and left alone to do too many tasks that they will never get done or that causes them to lack in their customer service. Ulta also needs to revisit their ideas about what training their employees on new products does for their sales. They have basically taken that away from us and I can definitely see a difference in sales because of it. Just a few simple things to tweek and this would be a 5 star company to work for. Isn't really all about the customer in the end? I think Ulta is forgetting that.

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
