ULTA Beauty Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Managers and employees constantly had miscommunications. Other managers would pick up shifts for them and ask employees questions that we were not taught. Employees are expected to know info by word of mouth. Gratis= old testers. Forced to work while sick. ALL CUSTOMER REVIEWS ONLINE ARE ABOUT THE BAD MANAGERS none about employees. 5 managers quit/got fired in 1 year"

"The most toxic work environment I have ever seen. Management went so downhill. The GM was unprofessional and didn’t know how to handle situations. The coworkers were so drama filled and mean towards one another, it was insane. I worked and barely got any recognition for it, while others just stood around the whole time"

"Before i was hired there I would shop at Ulta all the time,then i made the mistake of applying here.It is not worth it at all.The environment is not welcoming or friendly in any way at all.There is terrible management all they do is sit and gossip during there shift.You do not get any sort of good training you are left to figure it out on your own my advise don't do it."

"I’ve worked at Ulta beauty for 2 years and has been a good place to work at. Has good environment to work in."

"Good company for work-life balance, good benefits"

"This job will literally drain you. You will easily put in 50 to 60 hours a week and that still will not be good enough for your district manager. You will never get ahead in this job and always feel like you're chasing your tail. Plan on working every holiday open to close and every weekend."

"I love working at Ulta, it is a good company that gives everyone a fair chance. It is lots of fun helping people look beautiful! My manager is very new at her job and that causes problems/drama however I’m still very happy!"

"I have been with ULTA for a short time but it is a fast-growing company with good values."

"Worst experience. Was hired for the brow bar and was told I would get 20 hours a week which was a lie. My hours were constantly changed and cut without my knowledge. I was lucky to get 2 shifts a week. Management showed no sympathy to employees with low hours and not being able to make ends meet. I was not treated as a Licensed professional and did not feel like one. I had managers telling me how to do my job and giving me advice when legally they can’t even do my job. Was told I should work on my skills and get better but how am I supposed to do that when I would only work 1-2 days a week? All they cared about was budgeting and making money. Was demoralizing to work there."

"I worked as a hair stylist to get through college and help support my family of five. ULTA can easily be compared to a sweat shop, but I'm fortunate for the time that I had there and the opportunities that I was provided with. Though the discount was meager, it was a plus to have the best beauty products at my disposal. They terminated my employment while I was in the hospital having a cesarean, citing that my disability was not approved. Greedy, nasty people."
