      Pros

      Working for Mary Kay gives you the opportunity to buy products at cost. Which is a wonderful benefit.

      Cons

      The high level of inventory one is pushed to have on hand is financially draining. The pressure put on consultants to meet a certain status within the company is frustrating. The lack of understanding from leadership when there are family reasons you cannot work the business as much is discouraging. Leading is one thing - pushing is another. Becoming a Mary Kay Consultant will be a financial disaster if you do exactly what the leadership tells you to.

      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.
