Pros

Lots of walk thru traffic

Cons

Because of such high turnover in management the people who are so called managers know nothing about ultas corporate standards. The store manager would receive free salon services while on the clock..our color bar was never stocked and they left a newly licensed cosmetologist to run the salon alone for 3 months...they use Sally's developer with redken color and do not follow manufacturers instructions on how to use their color...you should never put lightener under the dryer... 15 minutes under heat equals 45 minutes of having that lightener on your hair....unacceptable!

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
