Pros

You have complete control over your financial future, your time and how fast and far you want to advance in the company. There are no territories or quotas, no boss telling you what to do and determining what the job says you're worth instead of what you're worth. As a brand new beauty consultant you make as a much profit from your sales (50%) as a National Sales Director whose been in the company for 30 years. YOu also have a choice to build your team and get between a 4% -13% comission on what they sell and it comes directly from the company. YOu can earn the use of a FREE Mary Kay car, get a new one every two years or you choose cash compensation instead monthly ($375-$900). More women avg. $100,000 year than w any other company in the world and it only costs $100 to start ! YOu constantly get praise and recognition for everything you do - the most positive & supportive enviornment I've EVER been around ! It's like a self improvement course you get paid for since it dramatically improves your self confidence and personal growth. Because it is a consumable product , you constantly have a reorder business. The company's priorities are faith 1st, family 2nd and career 3rd and everyone operates with the Golden Rule. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made !

Cons

If you dont do anything, you dont get paid

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.
