Pros

Amazingly friendly employees. Mary Kay has a fairly dynamic and competitive compensation structure. Due to the warm corporate culture, it is fairly easy to accomplish your work. Executive team is very available and supportive.

Cons

Consensus based decision making leads to many many meetings. Executives make most if not all decisions. Antiquated corporate culture that lacks flexibility and agility. Big corporate engine that is slow to change. Not as progressive as many other corporations in the Dallas area.

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.
