Pros

As an independent beauty consultant, I get to make my own schedule and work when I want to work. I don't have to work a lot of hours to make a lot of money. The training is phenomenal and I have my director and adopted director to thank for that. Everyone that I've met in MK is willing to help me out no matter how it may affect them. I have gained immeasurable self-confidence as I have grown in this business. I have won many prizes including jewelry, business/office supplies, and clothing. I also get to pamper women and help them feel better about themselves! I honestly can't think of any reason why anyone should not sell Mary Kay!

Cons

Figuring out how to balance life working at home is difficult, but not impossible. It just takes a different kind of self-discipline from working outside the home.

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.
