Mary Kay Really Does Enrich Women's Lives
Pros
The product is superb. It does what the company says it will do. The prices are more affordable than department stores. The product sells itself. I've made a lot of money in just a few months doing very little work. I receive great training from women who are very successful, and the training is FREE. The women in Mary Kay are wonderful, fun, encouraging, and very supportive. There is never any competition but, rather, encouragement to excel and be the best we can be. The company cares about the environment. They are constantly working on ways to further minimize their impact on the environment. Our orders come in biodegradable packaging (cardboard, paper AND packing peanuts dissolve in water). The Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation contributes significant amounts of money for research on finding cures for cancers that affect women. It also helps fight against domestic violence. I am my own boss. I set my own hours. I can never be fired or laid off. There are absolutely no quotas, no requirement to recruit; it's not a pyramid scheme as some would think. I make 50% profit on everything I sell. I get prizes and recognition. I am so incredibly proud to represent this company! (Thank you, Mary Kay, for providing this amazing opportunity!)
Cons
Honestly, the only downside is that I "have" to dress up more than I would like. I LOVE wearing my jeans. But hey, if I want to be successful and be taken seriously by potential customers, then I have to look the part. So I do it, and it's worth it!
