Pros

There was tons of free product given out, as well as gifts given for in-store and inter-store competitions. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, and the discounts were good. The managers were big on educating us about product, so I left ULTA feeling like I had gained a lot of information about not just the products, but about all sorts of aspects of beauty and personal care. Our ULTA was also particularly close-knit since we put together the store, and opened and ran it with the same staff. The managers were super understanding and encouraging people-- an overall great place to work!

Cons

The staff room in the back was very, very small. Long hours to be standing, and a lot of time was spent with nothing to do. Our break system wasn't the best, and we had very little time to eat during our lunch blocks. They also made us carry these really tacky transparent purses to make sure we weren't stealing any of the product, which made it a bit uncomfortable during that time of the month. The stock room system was also really messy, which made restocking difficult, and finding out about product nearly impossible, but you figure out your own system eventually.

Pros

A lot of freebies from training. Good people to work with. Fast paced environment. Prefer to pormote from within. Generous discount in the retail side of the store and in the salon. Corporate office is always willing to listen, even if they cannot help in the moment.

Cons

Company just went public and will anything to save a dollar....including cutting hours back so there is never any chance to have help on the floor to help the customers. Not enough training from vendors, so there are a lot of lines store know nothing about. Opening too many new stores. Should focus on the ones they have first.

Pros

The 25% discount, and the gratis the company ocassionally gives out after you work your behind off.

Cons

Everything. No insurance offered for part-timers, horrible lack of hours, bad management, exspensive to keep up with dress code along with hair styles and trends.
