Pros

Working with cosmetics is a plus. Also, building the selfesteem of women is great. It is a good place to start if you are young, but don't expect anyone to take you seriously if you are.

Cons

Being a manager, I feel we have no managment power. We are taskers. We do not have enough hours to delegate, yet we get introuble for doing it ourselves. I feel like I cannot go to upper management with issues. There is that politics of if you're friends with upper managment, you get what you want. If your aren't you're screwed.

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.
