Pros

Nice products and nice women. I enjoyed trying all of the products and explaining them to women.

Cons

It was difficult to sell them due to their price. You need to know a lot of people in order to make real money or approach strangers.

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.
