Pros

Being a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant gives me the flexibility to keep my work and life in balance. I get awesome training and mentoring, and work with sharp, positive women doing something we love. Best of all, I know I'm making a difference in others' lives.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to be a self-starter! Nobody is going to make you go to work, you have to motivate yourself and make something happen.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
