      Mary Kay Corporate Life is GREAT!

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      I am not an indpendent beauty consultant ... independent beauty consultants are not employees of the company. I work at the corporate office. Flexibility and encouragement to put family before work and to balance it all is unusual for a corporate environment and for one so large! Also high on my list is the opportunity for professional growth/career advancement. I have moved up and laterally and have been allowed several stretch opportunties. I think this is not normal in the corporate world today; most people I know have to quit and start over an another company for these things.

      Cons

      Haven't found one that is significant -- every job has undesirable tasks or people who are difficult to work with; i think we experience less of that than other companies due to our relationship-centered environment.

      Mary Kay...It's Not what You Expect but It Could Be Just What You Need!

      Pros

      Priorities...God first, family second, career third. I can work my own hours and at my own pace so I am Able to travel and even take my business with me. I enjoy working with the people I want and watching people grow as they move up in their own business.

      Cons

      Trying to overcome the stereotype that people put on Mary Kay consultants. It is a business just like any other and it has its ups and downs. Like anything else you have to work at it to be successful.

      Mary Kay: The Only Company that Allows you to Make a Difference and a Substancial Income!

      Pros

      Mary Kay was founded on basic principles to enrich a woman's life. You can have a successful career while placing your faith first, family second and your career third. I also love being my own boss! I am completely responsible for my success or failure, and I create my own schedule! The flexibility is so helpful! You can basically determine your monthly paycheck by following the "numbers, " and figuring out the equation that fits your needs. Mary Kay is the first company I have worked for that is predominantly women, and all the women truly want you to succeed! Your success is not only a personal success, but a team success as well, and it is just an extremely positive work atmosphere.

      Cons

      The main downside for me is the lack of insurance and benefits from the company. I know I can research and find a good insurance company outside of Mary Kay, but benefits are always convenient when they are worked into your workplace. Also, if you are not a motivated and disciplined person, you will have to work harder to be successful because there is no boss telling you what you need to get done. It is completely up to you.
