Pros

Work at my convenience. Succeed at the rate I want to. No pressure from recruiters or directors. If I need to take time off, I don't have to ask for it. Great rewards program. Beautiful cars to drive....for free!!! Its a product that will always be needed. Teaches women how to take care of their skin, and keep it looking young and beautiful. Women I work with are wonderful, and support you in everything you do!!

Cons

All commission right now. Hard to get your clientel in the beginning. Takes a strong commitment if you really want it to work successfully. Have to get used to people telling you "no"!!

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
