Pros

Best commission in the country, positive co-workers, enthusiastic directors, great prizes for reaching your goals and next to free training - anything that costs is tax deductible. It works when you work and sometimes has residuals even when you don't.

Cons

Occasionally reading comments from disgruntled former consultants who were too rebellious to follow the proven career path.

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.
