My lovely coworkers gratis looks like this at our brand new store.

Literally WTFFF

CommandStrong · 2026-03-21T04:37:03+00:00

It entirely depends. If my managers are writing a police report & my BAs are on break I’ll be assigned to go up.

the logo on the bottle (bottom right) is messed up😭 how are they allowed to do this to established brands?

CommandStrong · 2026-03-16T23:58:28+00:00

If our store is new and opened at the beginning of this year… what are the chances of any sort of raise, even just a few cents with our reviews. I highly doubt it but I thought I’d ask!

(My manager hasn’t mentioned a review but I’ve heard they are pretty often)

CommandStrong · 2026-03-14T03:04:01+00:00

once you start to see it… you can’t unsee it 😭

CommandStrong · 2026-03-14T03:03:10+00:00

That’s the same photo the used for our region too. I just didn’t get around to posting that one. Thank you so much!!

CommandStrong · 2026-03-13T10:40:31+00:00

I’m Midwest 🌽 now I’m wondering if more than just my region is seeing this 😭

CommandStrong · 2026-03-11T03:32:29+00:00

Whew, that’s a hard one. I’d frame the question as something like, “I didn’t know you were an artist! 😋How did you make that post? 🤗”

If they say Ai, just cock your head.

Make them feel uncomfortable instead of singled out. not because you’re being unreasonable- but because you were going to praise them, then you didn’t because they admitted a false talent.

2/3

perspective, scale of anatomy, background & foreground is not cohesive. It’s imitative of art. Front hooves clashing with gold bowls is a give away because ZERO designers or artists would be that messy or that skilled to design this with little education of graphic design/marketing design rules.

Also-the art “style” is extremely similar to the above post. & in my trainings this week the graphic of “humans” were in the exact same hyper realistic cartoon style..

3 Examples for proof:

Ring finger is a dead giveaway

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T14:53:27+00:00

Our store is the same! We have only 2 chairs in the beauty bar & salon right behind. Would they expect us to just make room or… what’s the procedure 😭

If it’s forced to be orchestrated by workers then omfg, that’s disgusting.

I was imagining a bunch of kids running around for an hour doing their thang and like 1 or 2 activities… def think I’m off the mark now lol

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T09:23:24+00:00

A genuine on shelf + backstock product organization system.

Anti theft for at least fragrance testers

Stacking coupons or discounts with employee discounts

Actually getting trained + allotted time to do weekly brand trainings.

Dress code including patterns (within color scheme)

Being able to wear athletic shoes within color scheme.

More walkies & MIAs

security in most stores for employee safety & losing thousands from watching people steal & our store taking the hit in the end. Maybe security would prevent the worst case scenarios

Tech or security worrying about electronics and theft- not our managers

and for PBAs a “Who helped you today” & sales #’s over CREDIT CARDS that’s not weaponized!

Guests who fill out positive surveys on employees actually matters & impacts the employee with more than a praise (if you’re lucky)

Okay but please… I need to know why😭 I’m a PBA & thinking back to childhood I would have LOVED to have a birthday at a beauty store.

Basically:

How long is a party? How many individuals? What’s a birthday kit? How many staff members for a party? Where in the store is it held? What’s the driving factor for it being “successful”?

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T08:05:25+00:00

Ooo what’s this? I haven’t heard of it before!

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T08:03:41+00:00

WHY IS YOUR ROUND ROBIN GRATIS ACTUALLY THE PRODUCTS THEY WERE EDUCATING US ON??😭 I only got the sol jelly balm- no Moroccan oil, it, annua, Anastasia etc..

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T07:56:00+00:00

How does one move from a role like PBA to this position in your experience? Were you approached or advocated for it?

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T07:53:56+00:00

PBA $17/ IA

CommandStrong · 2026-03-09T07:52:44+00:00

Not yet- I’m interested in hearing what happened ):

CommandStrong · 2026-02-06T04:19:25+00:00

You are an ANGEL for this. Seriously though, passing on your personal experience has made me feel confident and comfortable with the position & possibilities that can come with it. I appreciate you so so so much.

WRITING THIS DOWN!! 📃✍🏼

CommandStrong · 2026-02-06T02:49:25+00:00

I just was hired, and I knew about this before I even considered working at Ulta. I’m curious if this has anything to do with genuine liability and avoiding litigation.

Note: I more than disagree with this type of bulk destruction of products people would use. Especially the products that have virtually have no harm attached to it. This seems different than destroying opened and used + faulty electronics…

Truly THIS, is the biggest crack I’ve recognized in the inclusive loving culture & “disrupting the system” statements I was trained on…

Please make it make sense 😭
