Pros

The best reason to work at Ulta is the gratis is great, and the insurance is amazing as well as being reasonable in cost to the associates.

Cons

In order to accomplish all that is expected you have to do a lot of your job on your own time or it is impossible to get everything done. Upper management basically the DM has absolutely no people skills. Store Managers are hired that have no idea how to manage a store very disorganized. There is never enough payroll.

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
