Pros

It is a flexible, powerful career. I have unlimited earning potential and the women are mostly supportive of one another. The company thrives on living by the Golden Rule....no other place excersizes that philosophy more.

Cons

It is hard! Simple, but hard. It takes a ton of self discipline. It must be treated as any other business adventure and some times it's not presented as that. Therefore, it is not taken as seriously by new entrepeneurs.

Pros

Wonderful coworkers, amenities at the Mary Kay Building, and overall a mostly pleasant place to work from a day to day perspective.

Cons

Senior management seems totally lost. Strategy is ever shifting, and seems based more on whatever management's current flight of fancy happens to be. Little to nothing has been done to address the very real long-term issues related to the business. There's a reluctance to meaningfully change or address systemic issues leading to an existential risk to the business. It's so bad, the former CEO is suing the current CEO for mismanaging the company. They are father and son. It's that bad.
