Pros

So much fun if you actually invest time and effort! You meet lots of people and get to have fun building relationships and making money. You have To be consistent but it's a job so that should be a given. You also get tons of fun training and inspiration is all around you

Cons

Being your own boss is hard at times. It can be difficult to set a schedule and make yourself stick to it. You have to be the one to hold yourself accountable.

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.
