Pros

Excellent environment, people are positive and professional. The discount benefit is great. I like the way the company is focused on clients but does not pressure the associates to perform, supporting them instead.

Cons

Working with makeup is far a far dirtier job than one might expect! Also, we have little control over what we get in stock and this is frustrating when a client wants to purchase an item but we don't have it.

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.
