Pros
flexibility, you set your own pace, and it is fun. I did not wear the Mary Kay products before becoming a consultant, but it was that fast to fall in love with them. I enjoy working with my team of consultants and sharing ideas that could help our businesses. There is also a 50% profit at Mary Kay, when buying your products you get them at wholesale and sell them at retail, which it 50% higher. Its a nice profit margin. There is also no sales quotas and my senior consultant does not take a portion of my sales, they're all mine!
Cons
Being new I really haven't found any downsides. I've enjoyed the time that I have put in. I work another job full time and only do Mary Kay part time. Its easy to fit in simple things into my schedule that can be fun and rewarding. You do go through an orientation, which although can be time consuming gives you the basic information you need to adequately sell and share these great products. I have really enjoyed the girl time as well. I would encourage anyone thinking about joining Mary Kay to really consider what a fabulous company it is.
