Pros

I loved being able to try all the new make-up and other beauty trends. I enjoyed making somebody feel beautiful or helping someone if they are having skin problems. They also have a good discount.

Cons

Pay sucks, they really need to off commission to the consultants. Can get catty being it's usually all women. Dealing with pissed off customers sucks. Managers don't praise you on a job well done often enough and they pick their favorites.

Pros

If you like helping people find skincare and makeup that suits them, it's a nice place to be--plus you get to take home some products for free every once in a while as gratis!

Cons

Your Ulta credit card is in danger of being heavily used--whoops! Also, even if you really know your stuff and are in the middle of speaking with customers, if they need someone at the register, they will replace you on the floor with a Prestige Beauty Advisor, which was always super disappointing. Especially if you've already established rapport with the guest and their cart is getting full. Also, customers have shared feeling racially profiled, being closely followed. Not cool. Something to keep in mind so you don't accidentally do that if you're part of the team.
