Pros

Great product Second income opportunity You define your role Great tax benefits Focus on Family, God, and Self Company handles the sales tax Will purchase

Cons

Quotas to keep discount privileges High shipping costs All the supplies needed to sell the product cost extra Directors are great at talking you into buying more and dangling the carrot Strong use of gifts or prizes to manipulate you into reaching targets You can't be shy to do this job, it requires a lot of personal selling

Pros

An outstanding Corporate Company that puts is sales force and customers as top priority. I have been with Mary Kay for over 20 years and have worked the business very part time to eventually full time. You will grow personally and you will gain great life and business experience. The products are highly researched and fair priced. The Mary Kay Ash Foundation continues to make a difference in many areas in addition to Breast Cancer Research and Prevention of Domestic Violence. And 50% profit for a starter??? Why not! A great opportunity you can run with at your pace.

Cons

You actually have to book appointments and put some effort in :) The payoffs are many, but for those who have no discipline or zero interest in developing any, or who enjoy living in the negative moment, this company is probably not for you. But luckily at 40 years strong in 35 plus countries and debt free...it will thrive just fine with or without you :)

Pros

You make 50%!!!! and you have untapped potential. you can make tour business anything that you would like it to be. You also have a powerful team of of women behind you rooting you along.

Cons

You have to find the right director. Not all directors are in it to help others. and if you are easily talked into things you may end up with wuite a it of inventory that you don't even need, just to satisfy your director. so alway have inner talks with yourself on what your true goals are.
