Pros

Mary Kay is a debt-free, privately held company that operates by the Golden Rule, and teaches God first, Family second, Career third. This doesn't mean we don't work We work hard. It just means we prioritize our lives in this way. We work to support our families and serve God. I love the fact that it is a God focused organization. It is ethical, generous, and transparent. The training and mentoring are second to none.

Cons

Succeeding takes hard work and a reasonable investment for inventory and business supplies. I personally don't see this as a "con" but some people might. Like anything else, it takes a while to learn.

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.
