Pros

Ulta Beauty is a very culture driven company. They really do grow the individual as a professional

Cons

Unless you’re corporate or field level your growth depends on how good your general manager is at their job. Internal promotions are encouraged but the increase in pay is bare minimum. You might as well quit and reapply for the job to get what you truly are qualified. District Managers run off Services leaders and Service Educators (their partners) all the time because they won’t take accountability for the service and boutique areas and when the pressure comes down they place the blame on those who really don’t have any power. If they would get their GM’s onboard but also pay attention imagine the results the company would have as a whole. If Ulta would recalibrate their DM’s they would have longer term employees even on the store level. To make sure they don’t have any open positions they tolerate unacceptable behavior.

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
