Pros

Flexible schedule, employee discount. It is fun to learn about the new skin care products as well as new make up being released to the market. I am able to educate guests about make up as well as make recomendations to them as to what is make up or skin care product will best suit their needs.

Cons

Communications seem to be lacking especialy if you are not there everyday. The management has no say so about the products they need for the store. You often have make colors that you are out of for weeks on end. It is frustrating and embarrassing to help a guest select a particular make up and we do not have it. Often it is not delivered with the next delivery and we cannot honestly tell the guest when it will be in.

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.
