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!

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.

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.
