Pros

the discount is decent. the girls are friendly

Cons

There is no hours to go around even during holiday you will get 20 hours. They expect you to do the truck-cashier and be a prestige consulant with no pay raise. The schedule changes daily with no phone call to let you know that they changed your shift so when you drive all the way to work and realize you were off well it sucks for you they dont care. You have to be pat down before leaving and can only use a clear bag in store how crazy that there is no trust in your employees never enough people on the sales floor and customers are always unhappy they want you dressed to the 9's in all black but dont pay you enough to purchase these clothes

Pros

Pay and benefits are generous

Cons

Zero work life balance. Store hours consistently being cut. They like the motto, “do more with less”.

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.
