A cult is defined as a group of people who worship or follow a certain person or being. By that definition, every religion is a cult.
Most of the time, people imagine a cult as a small group of people living in a secrative, closed society. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do not do this. They live regular lives, have everyday jobs, and participate in the cities and communities where they live. All are welcome to learn more about their worship practices and attend their worship serivces. They worship Jesus Christ and follow a living prophet, but they are no more a cult than any other religion.
