      Once a great company. Horribly mismanaged. Management either disconnected or fake & vengeful. Very cliquish.

      Pros

      Great benefits and work/life balance. Generous product discount and onsite restaurant. Generous 401K possibilities and corporate discounts. Enjoyed working with my peers and direct reports.

      Cons

      Too much disingenuous "fake it til you make it" attitude and butt kissing in the corporate office. Worked with a handful of managers with integrity and good intentions. In my experience, most managers, directors and VPs (and above) "manage UP," looking out for their own self interest rather than looking out for their direct reports. Gossip, backstabbing and drama are par for the course. Difficult to know whom to trust. Everyone is distrustful of HR. Culture has slowly dissipated since Mary Kay Ash's passing.

      Pros

      I love the freedom to work this business at my pace. If I want to work hard, I can make more money, but if I just want to do a little bit, that works too.

      Cons

      If you aren't comfortable talking to strangers, this is not the business for you.

      Good benefits; not so good management

      Pros

      Product discount is very generous. There's a limit to the amount you can purchase. It must be for personal use.

      Cons

      The company used to be based on Mary Kay's foundation on which she built the company: God first, family second, career third. Unfortunately, since her death the company has become more focused on making money and less about treating employees airily.
