Pros

I am not an indpendent beauty consultant ... independent beauty consultants are not employees of the company. I work at the corporate office. Flexibility and encouragement to put family before work and to balance it all is unusual for a corporate environment and for one so large! Also high on my list is the opportunity for professional growth/career advancement. I have moved up and laterally and have been allowed several stretch opportunties. I think this is not normal in the corporate world today; most people I know have to quit and start over an another company for these things.

Cons

Haven't found one that is significant -- every job has undesirable tasks or people who are difficult to work with; i think we experience less of that than other companies due to our relationship-centered environment.

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.
