Pros

Self employed; set your own schedule; no limit to your income potential; support is always there; constant training available; you can climb status level to make higher commission. Mary Kay gives women strength, confidence and a place to grow. Provides chances to win great prizes every quarter.

Cons

In order to climb the status ladder, you have to rely on your team for some success. You can earn awards based on your sales. Stepped down from director to consultant due to no insurance. Had to get a job w/ benefits.

Pros

Wonderful coworkers, amenities at the Mary Kay Building, and overall a mostly pleasant place to work from a day to day perspective.

Cons

Senior management seems totally lost. Strategy is ever shifting, and seems based more on whatever management's current flight of fancy happens to be. Little to nothing has been done to address the very real long-term issues related to the business. There's a reluctance to meaningfully change or address systemic issues leading to an existential risk to the business. It's so bad, the former CEO is suing the current CEO for mismanaging the company. They are father and son. It's that bad.
