Pros

25% discount sometimes 30 or 40% fun to work at and meet new people many products to play with

Cons

Gratis are given away between management and some prestige employee, salon employees never see any of this items. Free facials are not permited to salon employees. Too many offerts too many specials back to back that makes it impossible to sometimes make the numbers very low pay starting at 43% and to a max of 50 to 53% unrealistic goals to jump level salon has many times little or no products to work with to the point that some stylist have to buy their own. manager wont care about any of the employee personal problems and wont help. too many free blows promotions and no recognition nothing for salon employees too many adds of ulta but no adds of the salon at ulta to the point that many people dont know there is a salon at ulta, instead of looking desperated and having so many ridiculous deals they should promote the salon more.

Pros

If you like helping people find skincare and makeup that suits them, it's a nice place to be--plus you get to take home some products for free every once in a while as gratis!

Cons

Your Ulta credit card is in danger of being heavily used--whoops! Also, even if you really know your stuff and are in the middle of speaking with customers, if they need someone at the register, they will replace you on the floor with a Prestige Beauty Advisor, which was always super disappointing. Especially if you've already established rapport with the guest and their cart is getting full. Also, customers have shared feeling racially profiled, being closely followed. Not cool. Something to keep in mind so you don't accidentally do that if you're part of the team.
