Pros

The best things about working for Mary Kay are that I get to meet and work with so many amazing women every day, I get discounts on excellent skin care products and makeup, and I get to earn extra money just by talking to people!

Cons

At first it's difficult to find a comfortable way to get consultations. I'm not a natural salesperson, even though I love people, so I'm always a little nervous when I start talking to someone new.

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.
