Pros

I really enjoyed having fun during facial or spa parties with old and new friends. If you work hard, you can make a lot of money. Mary Kay provides a ton of great resources online and through the local directors. If you are in need of training, it is out there in some capacity. Plus, the product is AMAZING!! It is easy to sell products that you believe in.

Cons

Great consultants need to be self motivated (which is something that I struggle with).

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.
