Pros

Unlimited Potential for the right individual. You are your own boss therefore you create your own schedule and paycheck. Potiential is endless. Free Cars, Diamonds, and trip!

Cons

Will suck if you cannot see eye to eye with your Director. There is no way to switch Directors unless you sit out for an entire year. You will have to stock pile inventory even if you are not selling it as fast as it's coming in.

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.
