Pros

Fun times, rewards for doing your job range from praise by leaders to (EARNING) FREE cars and trips. Training ALWAYS available to help consultants. Leadership is verrrry motivational. Products are the best on the market. FLEXIBILITY to meet personal life values: Faith, Family, Career

Cons

Costly products and minimum qualification to remain "active" for consultants seeking part-time sales status. Limited amount of product offerings especially when competing with other similar companies and their products.

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.
