Pros

Working at Mary Kay is an amazing experience, and you're the one in charge of it. No one tells you what to do or when to do it. And the best part is, you get out of it what you put into it. If you work hard and sell product, you can make as much money as you want, and you meet new people every day.

Cons

If you are unable to self motivate, it can sometimes be hard to keep going. But if you have a good director, then you'll get the encouragement you need.

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.
