Fayetteville, NC

Former Employee – worked at Ulta part-time for more than 3 years

Prosfamily feeling, gratis, flexible hours

Consglass ceiling, favoritism, policies too flexible

Advice to Senior Managementif there is a policy in place for customers and/employees, it shouldnt always bend or change because someone complains. listen to the employees more and drug testing for all employees. the gratis is nice, as are the flexible hours. i feel like the company would run a lot better if confidential information remained that way. also, management shouldn't be spending time out of work with cashiers, consultants, etc. background checks would be helpful to cut down on internal theft in the stores, and more hours provided to make sure shrink lowers in higher shrink stores.

Denver, CO

Former Employee – worked at Ulta part-time for more than a year

ProsThe discounts are good, friendly atmosphere, extremely flexible schedules, and a great chance to move up in your career.

ConsManagement, at least in my store, plays favorites. They give hours to those they like and ignore the request of others. They expect you to be 6 people in one, and to finish up the days task in an hour, and they expect you to do so while they are standing around talking to other managers. Poor, poor management.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop playing favorites.
