Ulta Beauty reviews

ethics of Upper management, store policies, everyone besides top management was "part time" and benefits were too expensive. Had to work 5 days a week even as part time and spread hours out, rather than working normal 8 hour shifts over less days.

Schedules are never made more than a week in advance. You will have to plan all your weekends two or three days before the schedules are made. Hours are also unfairly distributed among cashiers-- one person will get 5 hours, while another will get 20 hours, despite open availability. Management will hire outside rather than promoting internally; they are given based on favoritism, rather than efficiency, meeting of goals, getting high NPS scores from customers, and getting customers to sign up for the scam magazine subscriptions. I have worked for the company for over a year and a half and each time, upper management (GM and DM) promotes an outside employee who has only been working for 3 months. They eventually quit the company. You will constantly get bitched at by customers with all the coupon restrictions-- 90% of them who are too lazy to read the fine print. General Managers are consistently getting moved around, or fired. It is apparent that the company doesn't value education. Unlike other companies, you will have to work holidays. Non management will never get pay and a half for working holidays. It's no wonder turnover rate is so high.
