Pros

I enjoy the flexibility of creating my own schedule rather than being confined to specific working hours. I am naturally quite social, so I enjoy encountering people from different walks of life who are excited about being progressive. I also like having a direct influence over my potential financial earnings. Like any business, some exertion of effort is required for results, but it is worth the experience once things start taking off!

Cons

I would say that you would definately need to become good friends with self-discipline and time management!

Pros

The Mary Kay environment was very positve place. A great place for other business minded women to come together and support each other. If you get a good leader it is a great place to learn.

Cons

Pushes right away to recruit others. I had my open house and they wanted me to recruit already! I wasn't familar with all their products yet and I wasn't comfortable selling the business yet. They offer to buy back your products if you deciede that the business is not for you, but what they don't tell you is that if you do that you can never sell it again. In your life time. So if I deceided to sell Mary Kay again for example when I retire. I will not be able to.

Pros

mary kay is a great company to work for. They have the flexibility of setting your own hours. The sky is the limit!

Cons

sometimes the flexibility is too much if you cannot manage your time well. you need to determine if you need structure, then set a schedule for yourself.
