Pros

- some products are great for self use. -if you know how to annoy people with your products, then the job is for you. -it's not a 9-5 job.

Cons

- you need to be able to put in your own money first before you can get a paycheck. -buy in-order to sell. -you have to be able to sell these cosmetic products like they are gold. -have to be a great speaker.

Pros

Corporate direction to improve quality, workplace, retention, and image. Company supports cutting edge technology-not afraid of managed risk. Nice work environment and amenities. Lot's of long-time work mates...like having a second family. Great work/life balance.

Cons

A bit heavy on the side of bottom-up management. Silo'd operations are not impenitrable, but is challenging at times. Fast pace cuts into delivered quality. Easily distracted from long-term goals by the "problem of the day". Management by comittee is nice, but really slows the machine.
