Pros

Selling on your own schedule, family friendly, commission is high(50%), great if you are a complete go getter

Cons

They have changed/discontinued/launched 2 new lines and 1 area within 8 months. There isn't enough notice to consultants to get rid of old lines before they discontinue and or launch the new one. Most customers like their shade/skin care and are hard to change over or will quit Mary Kay all together. Must be a self starter

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
