You can end up working 24/7 if you don't have good time management skills, but this would be up to the individual contractor, not Mary Kay itself

Pros

Flexible Work/Home Balance Influencing others Serving customers Discount on products

Cons

50% discount on products as long as you order or sell at least $450 retail or $225 wholesale every 3 months. Can sometimes be hard to make sales (it’s a job you need to work out of your comfort zone and share products to make sales)
