Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Mary Kay part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Very positive experience overall. In business for yourself, but not BY yourself. Products are priced right, and the Company stands behind all of their products and their research. SO important. The 100% guarantee means I can sell with confidence and make sure my customers have what they want. The people I have met as a result of Mary Kay has opened doors to lasting friendships and has allowed me to meet many new customers and business associates.

Cons – There are no cons regarding the company itself. Their marketing plan is solid.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing, but I think checking up on the practices of some individuals, if possible, might be a good thing, to make sure they are carrying out their business in the way the company wants to be represented.

I have been working at Mary Kay as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – People enjoy coming to work, and your coworkers are very friendly

Cons – Age, no one is close to my age. I'm the youngest employee in the manufacturing building (well at least in the sciences). Wishing I had more people to grab happy hour with or hang out with after work.

Advice to Senior Management – Gold Stars! Some of the best managers I've had. Really enjoy learning and working from my bosses.

I have been working at Mary Kay part-time for more than a year

Pros – you get to work as much or as little as you want

Cons – organization and a small sense of bussiness details are needed

I have been working at Mary Kay full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Corporate direction to improve quality, workplace, retention, and image. Company supports cutting edge technology-not afraid of managed risk. Nice work environment and amenities. Lot's of long-time work mates...like having a second family. Great work/life balance.

Cons – A bit heavy on the side of bottom-up management. Silo'd operations are not impenitrable, but is challenging at times. Fast pace cuts into delivered quality. Easily distracted from long-term goals by the "problem of the day". Management by comittee is nice, but really slows the machine.

Advice to Senior Management – Slow the pace to improve the end result. Focus on the long-term targets with outward leadership.

I have been working at Mary Kay full-time

Pros – The company culture is about caring and work-life balance. And unlike many companies, this is not just lip service.

Cons – Quite a few layers of bureaucracy. The gigantic IT department is fragmented and it is difficult to figure out who is responsible for anything technically related. They try to treat every technical need as a "help desk" problem and are not inclined to provide deep solutions.

Advice to Senior Management – Try to flatten the company hierarchy a little. The IT department needs to hold some meetings with the corporate employees to figure out what their needs are and how to connect to the rest of the company.

I have been working at Mary Kay full-time for more than a year

Pros – Starter kit is only $100 with a retail value of $400

Cons – High expenses to operate website and high prices on business needs in MK Connection

Advice to Senior Management – Better discounts on the products, and better prices on the website, propay program, and mk connections. BETTER PRICES FOR CONSULTANTS WOULD AID IN ENSURING SUCCESS FOR ALL MARY KAY REPRESENTATIVES!
