Pros

Get to work all around cosmetics and salon products. Acceptive of piercings, tattoos, crazy hair and make-up. Relaxed enviroment. Discount off merch and salon.

Cons

Black and white dresscode, and not being able to wear BLACK DENIM. Having to get a pat down at the doors like a criminal, if you wanted to step out or leave. If you were friends with management, you could get away with things. Like favoritism. Changing of schedule and NOT notifying the person, then getting in trouble for it. Having to clean bathrooms and sweep/mop floor. Sorry, didn't know I was being paid minimum wage to do my job AND be a janitor.

Ok as a job but not a career.

Pros

Depending on your position, Ulta can be an ok place to make a little money and to gain experience. As a new stylist or esthetician, I think it's a decent starting point. There is a built-in clientele and an acceptable amount of training is provided. The employee discount is not outstanding but still nice especially around the holidays.

Cons

There seems to be very little opportunity for cashiers or even Prestige associates to advance. There have been several changes in management and not a single person was chosen to move up on the ladder, only outside hiring. The management does not value the employees, instead treats them as easily replaceable, especially those in lower positions like cashiers. They have recently cut many people's hours but then hired several more. To make matters worse, somehow we are still understaffed due to poor scheduling.
