Pros

Many opportunities for growth, started as a part time cashier and rose to the Prestige Manager. Loads of free stuff for training and prizes. Easy workload. Fun workplace. Great salon discount and decent product discount.

Cons

The dress code is a bit limiting. Solid black bottoms, solid black shoes, solid black or white tops, but a few times a year you get to add a splash of color. Time clock policies are VERY strict, I worked there for almost 2 years and was a manager and was fired for time clock violations. Also, be prepared for very few hours coming in as part-time, sometimes as little as 3 hours a week. I got 12 hours most weeks when I was part-time and that was a lot. Be prepared to offer rewards program and Instyle subscriptions

Pros

Most part time employees are able to enjoy flexible schedules. Ulta offers a great employee discount and fun and friendly staff members.

Cons

While the labor is generally light, some tasks can be very physically challenging. There is little opportunity for rapid growth within the company.
