Pros

I set my own schedule; I take time off without needing prior approval; my work travels with me; my network of fellow Mary Kay consultants/directors/etc. are a TON of fun and very supportive--always willing to help me grow my business; the company is uplifting and encouraging and ready to assist in any way; the products truly sell themselves!

Cons

If you do not have the self motivation to go out and work, it can be difficult to find enough customers to make a comfortable living.

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.
