Pros

Great morale. Great discount! Good opportunity. Love the idea of the job.

Cons

Position and duties grossly misrepresented upon hire. Expected to work hours other that printed on schedule. Many managers aloof, self-important, or worse . . . both. Management cannot comprehend that the point of having the same people go to multiple stores is consistency and efficiency and their opinions on how things should be done are unnecessary.

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.
