Pros

Amazingly friendly employees. Mary Kay has a fairly dynamic and competitive compensation structure. Due to the warm corporate culture, it is fairly easy to accomplish your work. Executive team is very available and supportive.

Cons

Consensus based decision making leads to many many meetings. Executives make most if not all decisions. Antiquated corporate culture that lacks flexibility and agility. Big corporate engine that is slow to change. Not as progressive as many other corporations in the Dallas area.

Pros

The US Marketing Department integrates PR, ad and marketing which makes working much easier and the projects are developed quicker than any job I have had in the past. Everyone treats each other with respect and kindness.

Cons

Personally, I do not work well in a women-only environment. We had two males and about 30 females on the same floor and it was an overwhelming amount of estrogen. If something went wrong, it went extremely wrong.
