Pros

You will learn a lot working at Ulta. The customers and everyone on the team work so that everyone is knowledgable about all products and brands. It's all inclusive and you have many opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

It's easy to become drained, even though you're part of a team being a lead cashier is a lot of work. You have to deal with almost every customer that comes in and some of them can be disrespectful. Being a lead you do most of the same things every day, it becomes mundane. There's not a lot of opportunity to receive benefits. The only people who can be full time are managers and boutique managers. There's no guaranteed hours and therefore pay. And we only got one bonus in my 2 years of working there. I also often felt like I could have no personal life as I would be on my feet all day, dealing with ignorant customers and I would be scheduled odd hours. So when I came home I had no energy to engage with friends, go to the gym, eat out, etc.

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.
