Pros

25% discount. That's about it.

Cons

Where do I begin? They expect you to know every product without proper training. Management is absolutely terrible. I'm not quite sure that these people even know what they're doing. HUGE theft problem and the managers don't do a thing about it. Oh and they will also accuse employees of stealing because quite frankly, I think they're just bored. Their "quota" is beyond ridiculous. They don't care about their employees or their customers. The only thing they care about is selling useless items to as many people as possible. Just getting out of school, I'm expected to have a large clientele when they do absolutely NOTHING to promote the salon. A girl can only tell her friends and family so many times. It's no wonder this location has the highest turnover rate than any of the other stores. If you enjoy feeling harassed and uncomfortable at your job while getting poor pay and zero support from management, then ULTA is perfect for you!

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.
