Pros

Benefit Cosmetics is a major vendor, they are Amazing. Ulta has a large amount of free product (gratis) and access to product knowledge.

Cons

Low Pay. Inexperienced Management. I opened a store as a Benefit Brow Employee. They Hired 50 people to get the store up and running. After 3 months the entire staff was cut down to 12 employees. It was a popularity contest. They cut peoples hours to less than one 4 hour shift a week. It was horrible. I was "safe" from budget cuts due to Benefit Cosmetics providing my payroll hours. There were many many days where I was the only employee on the sales floor and one cashier with one missing member of mgmt. It was ridiculous. There are no ethics in America anymore.

Pros

Gratis There are good hard working people that want to do well. I am still there (barely) because I haven’t completely given up that things will be handled/addressed correctly for those not aligned with company vision and expectations. However after 5 years of inaction it’s hard to believe that positive change will actually and maybe just maybe Myself and others that are dedicatedI will be recognized vs taken for granted.

Cons

No furthering development Keep toxic (leaders especially) allowing unacceptable behavior conduct and violation of company code Communication is very poor…it’s inconsistent,For example managers are not provided with direct email accounts so it’s a community email box. This causes a large amount of information to be read by the wrong audience and is not communicated if read by the wrong leader
