Pros

Working with people, getting free gifts and makeup, traveling with group,

Cons

If you have another job, don't even think about it. It's is so haard after coming home from your regular full-time job and then having to drive to visit 4 people in one night to meet sales goals. Plus, doing it as a younger member was extremely tough because people my age couldn't afford to spend $200 a month on makeup.

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.
