How Many Jobs Am I Supposed to Do for One BAD Paycheck?
As a PART TIME employee, we make barely above minimum wage but are expected to do a million different things at once. Hit sales goals. Push specific products. Memorize talking points. Do happy returns. Do color matches. Help customers with the app. Explain loyalty. Explain credit. Meet loyalty goals. Meet credit goals. Know every single little thing about the store. Know makeup. Know skincare. Know hair care. Keep everything stocked. Keep everything perfect. Be fast. Be friendly. Be knowledgeable. Do everything right.
And I’m SICK of compliments with nothing behind them. I’m tired of “great job!” and “we appreciate you!” when there’s no actual benefit attached to doing a good job. No better pay. No stable hours. No meaningful reward. These compliments feel TOTALLY empty when all they do is ask more from you!!!
I swear it’s always what you did wrong. You missed this goal. You could’ve said this differently. You should’ve pushed harder. More numbers, more goals, more pressure.
And when you don’t do well, you lose hours!!! Great so we get nothing for doing good but we lose a lot when doing “bad.” GREAT!!!
And then if the store doesn’t hit daily goals……Hours get cut
And THENNN we have to sit through their god awful training videos where they act like Ulta is the greatest thing since sliced bread. They say how we are valued and they care about us while at the same offering us inconsistent schedules and pay that is TERRIBLE.
(But I’m supposed to be happy about a 10ish cent yearly raise wow!!!!!!! So helpful 😃😃😃)
I have many MANY more things to complain about but I’ll end it here.
Anyways. I’m quitting ASAP. And I think everyone else should too! F U Ulta
