Pros

As a self-employed woman through Mary Kay Cosmetics, I was able to quit my 8-5 job and stay home for my teenage girls while retaining a professional salary. My opportunities for advancement are literally endless and when my last child is off to college, I will be able to invest more time in my business and make even more money to contribute to our family's needs and my retirement. The added bonus is that I am able, as a Senior Sales Director, to enrich the lives of other women and families by having a relationship with them as customers, team members & sales associates. I have always worked in a field that empowers women to be the best they can be and have found that this position embodies both the financial and the emotional/psychological aspects that make a career a lifestyle. The lifestyle is fantastic!!! Oh....driving the career car is pretty cool too!!!

Cons

none. really, it is the best!

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.
