Pros
Depending on your position, Ulta can be an ok place to make a little money and to gain experience. As a new stylist or esthetician, I think it's a decent starting point. There is a built-in clientele and an acceptable amount of training is provided. The employee discount is not outstanding but still nice especially around the holidays.
Cons
There seems to be very little opportunity for cashiers or even Prestige associates to advance. There have been several changes in management and not a single person was chosen to move up on the ladder, only outside hiring. The management does not value the employees, instead treats them as easily replaceable, especially those in lower positions like cashiers. They have recently cut many people's hours but then hired several more. To make matters worse, somehow we are still understaffed due to poor scheduling.
