ULTA Employer Reviews

This is not the company to work for if you want job security. They hammer it into your head from day one that their are plenty of other people that would take your place.

A Typical day at this job 1 st of all the pay is low ,they do not give you beraks,the women who work at the ulta in plano are so miserable with no life.The store mgr talks to every one like shes got some thing stuck up her back side !!!! They are going to work you like a salve and they are not going to train YOU .My fisrt day the mgr just told me to – more...  go out and do the best i can with what they have. Also Management is so UNORGANIZED BEFORE I GOT THERE ULTA HAD JUST LET ALL OF THERE MGRS AND SOME OF THE STAFF GO.THE STAFF THAT THEY HAVE THERE NOW IS GOING TO RUN THIS STORE IN TO THE GROUND .SOME OF THE MAKEUP THAT THEY SALE IS SO OLD THAT IT HAS CHANGED COLORS ,THE LIP GLOSS IS SO OLD THAT THE COLOR HAS SEPARATED FORM THE OIL !!!!!!!!!!!!! – less

this company has taught me so much, i have grown as an adult so much faster because of all the knowledge they have come to me with.i love this company but there comes a time when the luxury of having a great job that doesnt pay enough is not good for your life style anymore.

fun co-workers, managment could use some tweeking, for the most part the customers and co-workers make it both enjoyable and hard at the same time.

Until I had been to Ulta I hadn't ever had a job that I disliked. It wasn't the work that made Ulta a bad experience. Management was dreadful to work for. Not only were they rude, but they never gave any positive feedback about any one working at the time. Within the month that I worked there, all new hires had quit due to management, and scheduling.

I started when the store first opened and I worked with alot of great people. I learned alot about some products that I did not know about in the hair industy and also was able to use them on clients. The hardest part of the job was getting people to reconize that there was a salon in the store.

Management was unprofessional and prejudiced. They showed that they didn't like my appearance, even though I was dressed professionally everyday, and they were very uncouth.

This is a typical retail job. Not stressful lots of fun and you got free product all the time

Worked 2nd shift (3:30pm-midnight) in shipping. Work was fast paced and simple to complete. Co-workers were fun to work with. Management is likes to keep workers aware of things going on in the distribution center on a weekly, if not daily, basis. Payed well for an easy job and you had a lot of leeway when it came to call offs/being late in 6 six month – more...  period. – less

its a laid back job but there is no leadership the management needs to step it up on all levels from the district to the general manager and on down

A very "Corporate" company. Management cares very much about themselves and takes care of each other. I have never been at a corporate company with so much drama, rumors and favoritism. Welcome back to high school, or maybe junior high. They rant and rave how well the company is doing quartery yet salary employees are expected to put in "what ever it – more...  takes to get the job done", and hourly employees do not get a bonus, everyone pretty much get a 2-2.5% raise not matter what you give them. All this means nights of not getting home to see your family. Minimum work day for most is 10+ hours.

If you have plenty of extra time and are a good brown nose, it is a stable growing company. If you want a work life balance this is not the company for you. – less

Overall, Ulta was a great place to work. It was fun and a really good experience to have received. I learned a lot about patience and responsibility and leadership. The hardest part about the job was the customers, it was really hard to get yelled at for something out of my control for a majority of my shift! It was a great learning experience though!

A growing company that needs to get more technology to help it get there!

Highly micromanaged, little respect for employee's, stale working conditions, no upward mobility.

Ulta is a very busy and fast paced warehouse that stays busy continuesly through the whole year. A typical 8 hr day can straight out slow but may pick up as soon as orders come in.

ULTA was def a stepping stone for an esthetician coming out of school. The hours were terrible and asking for a sat or sunday off was impossible. Its 40hrs in the location i was at but the GM would always send me home because ULTA wasnt making its goals for the employees pay. Still to this day have no idea why that was! My steamer was used when i first – more...  started at ULTA (I started when the new store opened) but the steamer would spit very hot water on clients and i complained many times and they would send in my steamer which would take a month to get back to me and then it i receieved my steamer back it was as if the package had never been opened and was sent back the exact way i sent it and sure enought it was the same steamer and it had the same issue. No one inculding the GM and salon manager knew nothing about skin care or dermalogica it was very hard for someone to help me out when i first started especially since i didnt know very much about dermalogica. It was not a great experice and for 8.00 an hour is not worth it. They tell you that you can commission which means which ever is greater they will pay you ONLY PROBLEM with that is that they constantly disount your services usually by 50% so you have to work that much harder to compensate your reg pay. I loved my co workers it was a fun girly place to be but at the end of the day it wasnt worth my stay of 6months. And the ulta in abq NM cant keep an esthi employed for longer then a month since i left.. I wonder why that is! Just saying:) I dont like to be negative and i am thankful ULTA took a chance on me coming out of school and it did help me find what i deserve as an employee and like said it was just a stepping stone!! – less

Ulta is a very good environment to work in. There is always positivity and everyone always strives to be better. Everyday is about prestigious customer service, maintenance of the store to code, and working as a team player. It is always pleasant working with all types of people both customers and co-workers. Management always cares about all the workers – more...  and maintained a great balance that allowed everyone to feel appreciated. Time restraints did not always allow everyone to work to the standards of the store, but everyone always strived for success. I have learned to communicate, adapt to change, and work in a fast paced environment here at ulta. – less

I really liked the fact that I joined the Ulta team from the beginning. I helped build the store and things were great. Over time, I realized I didn't agree with the way things were run and my opinions and ideas weren't being utilized.

Great Company to work for a store level, but the corporate level has some rules and values that I do not agree with, which can make it hard to do work you dont agree with.

This job was a lot of fun because I got to play with make-up all day.Sometimes I would be ask to help to do make-overs. I loved this job because I loved the fact that I was able to help people accentuate their looks! There are all types of different vendors that would come to the store to teach employees about their products so then it would be easy – more...  for us to sell. – less
