Pros

Mary Kay is whatever you want to make it, flexible and fun! pay $100, get your starter kit and get to work!

Cons

As with any self owned business, this requires an investment to really move up in the company. After the starter kit runs out, be prepared to save money on the side to build your inventory.

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.
