Pros

I really enjoyed having fun during facial or spa parties with old and new friends. If you work hard, you can make a lot of money. Mary Kay provides a ton of great resources online and through the local directors. If you are in need of training, it is out there in some capacity. Plus, the product is AMAZING!! It is easy to sell products that you believe in.

Cons

Great consultants need to be self motivated (which is something that I struggle with).

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.
