Pros

The Mary Kay environment was very positve place. A great place for other business minded women to come together and support each other. If you get a good leader it is a great place to learn.

Cons

Pushes right away to recruit others. I had my open house and they wanted me to recruit already! I wasn't familar with all their products yet and I wasn't comfortable selling the business yet. They offer to buy back your products if you deciede that the business is not for you, but what they don't tell you is that if you do that you can never sell it again. In your life time. So if I deceided to sell Mary Kay again for example when I retire. I will not be able to.

Pros

Wonderful coworkers, amenities at the Mary Kay Building, and overall a mostly pleasant place to work from a day to day perspective.

Cons

Senior management seems totally lost. Strategy is ever shifting, and seems based more on whatever management's current flight of fancy happens to be. Little to nothing has been done to address the very real long-term issues related to the business. There's a reluctance to meaningfully change or address systemic issues leading to an existential risk to the business. It's so bad, the former CEO is suing the current CEO for mismanaging the company. They are father and son. It's that bad.
