Pros

Mary Kay is great for someone who is self-motivated and disciplined. You have a huge support system, but your success or failure is 100% dependent on your action. You control your hours and your income. There is great money to be made, you have to be willing to work for it,

Cons

This is not for everyone. It is a 100% commission sales career. Freedom and flexibility is great, but it will not work for someone who is not disciplined. Most of your appointments will be held between 5-10pm and on Sat and Sun.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
