Pros

There are opportunities for growth and moving up rather quickly. If you work hard opportunities will arise. You can meet some great people and build strong relationships. Discounts in store and salon.

Cons

Ulta is not concerned about each employee, you are a number to them, not an individual. Their main focus for 2013 is growth for the company and that means some bad decisions are being made. They are making careless choices due to spending time and money on expansion and not working on their current stores/issues. Regardless of your position you will do what they need you to do for the day, which may include nothing to do with your actual job or responsibilities.

Decent company to work for.

Pros

The discount at the Salon was good (50% off) for employees, you get to work with some great people who turn into friends, the brands sold there are good quality, and there's some room for a higher position. The flexibility for scheduling is so-so (kind of falls in the middle, not a pro, nor a con.)

Cons

-THE PAY. Depending on what you do, task team members make way less than what they deserve. Cashiers with more experience than others should get paid more, especially more than minimum wage. (And $.50 is not a promotion.) -The fact that cashiers get yelled at for $3.50 off $10 coupons not working on products such as Urban Decay or Dermalogica. They should start publishing in the ads what actually falls under "prestige brands" and "hair artistry brands". -Hours fluctuate. I would work 34 hours one week and 20 the next week. -As a cashier, you're mostly scheduled alone. Because of that, you can't leave the registers to help a customer find an item, and the prestige brand associates are usually busy. -You can be scheduled for 7 and a half hours, but end up leaving after 8 on a busy day, but with no 30 minute break, only a 15. -Some managers were rude and disrespectful, not helpful at all. -The discount wasn't completely terrible, but definitely not enough. -Some coworkers came from Sephora and would talk about all the free gratis they got, whereas we got virtually none from Ulta.
