Ulta Beauty

Beauty Advisor

June - October 2019 • Janesville, WI

What I liked

I liked that I was given task jobs in addition to cashiering so I could use the different skills I have.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been trained more on store processes and management had been more organized. Often times, I would be performing a task in one way that a manager suggested, but then told I was doing it wrong by another manager.

Advice

I would suggest being firm and fulfilling only the responsibilities and obligations that are called to you. For example, I was always taking shifts in the summer, and this soon turned into assumptions being made about my schedule when school began. It felt like I was being taken advantage of when I was saying yes and it turned into a schedule I couldn't handle. It felt like other workers did not want to help out, and many shifts would go unfilled.

Ulta Sales Associate

June 2019 • Henrietta, NY

What I liked

This is a fun part time job to get my mind off of just school. I am heavily involved on campus and needed something a little outside of my comfort zone!

What I wish was different

I wish I was able to work more hours, but with school my internship and my other job it is too much.

Advice

I hope to be able to keep this job through college because they work very well with my schedule, and the discounts are great!

Beauty Associate

May - August 2019 • Norwalk, CT

What I liked

I was able to work with customers that had the shared interest of makeup and beauty products. I was also able to fine-tune my sales skills, including getting credit card signups and membership signups. It's a very friendly environment and I thoroughly joined my time there.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was slightly less pressure on getting credit card signups, as - especially in this day and age - the average person tends to not want more than one credit card.

Advice

Once you get a handle on where everything goes and get into your groove asking people for their information for membership sign-ups and loyalty, everything will fall into place!

Good benefits, creative work environment, close to home.

What I wish was different

It is not as busy over the summer, so the opportunity to make money was smaller than usual and there are some corporate policies I am not too fond of.

Beauty Advisor

May - August 2018 • Farmington, NM

What I liked

I was able to improve my customer service skills and learn more about the company.

What I wish was different

I wish I started earlier so I could have experienced more of the customer service aspect of the job. Majority of my responsibilities was to reset and restock the store. I would have loved to have had more customer interaction.

Advice

If you work for Ulta you start off as freight which lets you get to know the products and learn more about the layout of the store. For this job I learned a lot about patience and was surprised to have gained so much knowledge about the products we sold.
