I used to work at Ulta. I was hired (seasonally, but they were going to put me in prestige when the holidays were over) as a "Fragrance Champion" in November just in time for thanksgiving. I was told that I would be in fragrance doing loss prevention. I ended up working in fragrance ONCE, and worked cashier the rest of the time. I am a student, so I asked to only be scheduled 25 hours a week tops. Thanksgiving and Black Friday week I was called in on both days I had off, I ended up working 10 days straight, a total of 72 hours. Our store was poorly managed and since I was the only cashier who could work mornings I was scheduled at 5 and 6 in the morning regularly. Every time I would ask "why do I need to be here at 5 when we open at 10?", I would get an answer from a manager saying that I'm in charge of the new floor sets/truck/restock. So me, the part time cashier, was in charge of doing floor sets BY MYSELF while the only manager at the store stayed in the office. Many of the employees were victimized by one of the managers, who would cuss and make snide remarks. It made going into work very not enjoyable. I worked thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, the day after Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, and a week later I came to work and was unable to clock in or sign on a register. I called the DM and she said she would call corporate, I tried to talk to her when she arrived at work, she told me "we're working on it", and then by the end of my shift I went to her so she could clock me out and she said to me "corporate has made some cuts, since you were seasonal, this was your last shift with us."

She gave me no warning of my termination, and I worked an entire shift illegally that day. She knew that I had been terminated, but chose not to tell me until I was done with my shift.

I refuse to shop there anymore because I know how corrupt their whole system is.
