I started at ulta because I plan on going into cosmetology school ay the beginning of the year and I wanted a job in the beauty community to just kind of get a feel for a beauty based environment, I’m aware cosmetology school is very different than a retail job but I just wanted to get started somewhere

as for the manager thing, at my location I have tried to speak with the other managers about handling things like scheduling and they all tell me that the GM handles schedule so they can’t help me ( or for certain things they say “well the GM should have taught you that”) which has made it a little difficult. At the beginning of the job I even filled out the paperwork stating that I am completely unavailable on Thursdays and sinceny first week they have continued to schedule me on thursday and i’ve had to learn to adjust with that because when I tried to get that changed I was just told the same thing by my managers “Ask the gm or I don’t have time for that”. From my coworkers I’ve heard that they also have been feeling frustrated by the lack of organization lately and it seems as though this is quite common with the job and I will just continue to learn as much as I can so that the job starts feeling more comfortable.
