Pros

I get to meet nice women and I help them look better and feel great. Life is too short to facial grumpy women! I work with positive encouraging women, who are like sunshine that live the Golden Rule. I love Mary Kay's philosophy of God first, family second and career third. i've been with MK for 22+ years and it has been a wonderful part-time opportunity that will now allow me to work full-time too.

Cons

Wiping the mirrors clean got to be old, so I delegated that to my children. It helps to be a self-starter and have somewhat of an entreprenuerial spirit. Sometimes being your own boss can lead to procrastination.

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.
