Mary Kay reviews

Everything. The 4 stars that this company has comes from the sales consultants and not from the people who actually work there. This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Your "friends" are just waiting to stab you in the back. Employees are fired for the smallest things. If they don't like you, they will find some way to get rid of you. Just don't ever work for this company. Mary Kay would roll over in her grave if she knew how employees were being treated now.

After the pandemic, the company struggled to fully recover. The chosen approach was to restructure and cut budgets, leading to layoffs. Stability disappeared, along with any certainty about the future. Despite these changes, the company remains top-heavy. The culture has become toxic, driven by cliques and favoritism. Success is often based on who you know and whether you are liked. When solutions to problems are proposed, they are frequently ignored—especially if they might upset those who are part of the problem but also belong to the favored group. As a result, issues persist, never truly being resolved. Despite executives' efforts to implement change, they rely on the judgment and opinions of leadership, which are often biased by personal favoritism rather than the actual needs of the business. Another major concern is how layoffs are handled. Employees who were let go were treated like trespassers, creating a sense that they had done something wrong rather than being victims of financial cuts. Adding to the distress, layoffs tend to happen right before the holidays, making an already difficult situation even more painful for those affected.
