Pros

Tons of people to turn to for help, very concise information. Only $100 to start up. As long as you attend the unit meetings and keep in touch with your recruiter and director you will know everything you need to get your feet off the ground. Can be a full time job, part time job or just a hobby - it's all up to you and how you work your business.

Cons

a little overwhelming at first with a lot of information being thrown your way, it is hard to let it all sink in. $5 for the unit meetings (but if you're selling, it shouldn't be too big of a deal). The InTouch website has a LOT of information and it seems almost impossible to navigate through all of it in a timely manner.

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.
