Pros

Good if you're into beauty Has a great mix of high end and low end beauty items Salon in store

Cons

Employees are not treated equally and resposibilites aren't split fairly Management lacks knowledge and spends too much time locked in the manager's office instead of being on the floor assisting employees that need help

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.
