Pros

I worked with some really nice ladies. The discount of 50% off products was very good. The team I was a part of did really well and offered wonderful training g opportunities.

Cons

Because the team I was a part of did very well they expected a lot of you. I had “mandatory” trainings that were at 7am on Saturdays which sucked. They offer many different products but they don’t add very many new items very often so you really have to try and sell the tried and true products.It’s a typical MLM, you pretty much get out of it what you’re willing to put in.

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.
