Pros
At the beginning the pros were my coworkers, managers, and the employee 25% discount. By the end of my time working there these all became cons.
Cons
No, I am not just a disgruntled employee who just got fired. I actually left my job on very good terms with the people I worked with. That being said... Management was the worst. One of my managers was bullied into resigning from her position because the others didn't like her. Her position was opened and filled by one of the favorites before any of us were told she had resigned, therefore no one was able to apply. I ended up doing only truck shipments and adsets, which was great because I absolutely hated the customers we dealt with. However, management is trained not to give a crap. I went to my manager explaining my husband lost his job and I really needed as many hours as she could give me. She said she'd see what she could do. I actually ended up with worse hours. The discount is great until you realize you could go get a full-time job somewhere that will pay you halfway decent and you'll be able to afford what you want to buy there in the first place. And yes, I agree. Some Ulta's could be great to work at and it really could just be the people. But in my opinion, the company itself is awful and doesn't care about it's lower-end staff, which is why you hear that the majority of management is completely horrible. Because they're trained that way. I was in this job for 11 months, staying only in hopes that it would get better, and it only ever got worse.
