Pros

I get to be my own boss and I truly get to prioritize my faith, family, and career all in that order so that I can balance my life and be successful at the same time. This company has the highest commission than any other direct sales company in the US. I think the best part is that anyone can work this business whether you have 2 hours or 40 hours a week to put into to it. The company is designed for anyone that desires something more in their life. This is a Recession Proof company where layoffs don't exist!

Cons

Being your own boss can get tricky. You are the CEO, the Marketing Director,and of course the Consultant! No Motivation= Frustration!

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.
