Pros

I get to work when I choose and how much I choose, which means time for family and friends. PLUS! I get my makeup at cost and can give fun discounts whenever I WANT TO! And I can win prizes and trips and meet lots of fun ladies! What's not to like? Everyone is very helpful and willing to share all their tips and documents and ideas on how to make your career fun and profitable.

Cons

Slow periods can be hard when still wanting to keep good inventory. But if you're good with a budget it's very doable especially as that's a good time to run a sale :)

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.
