Pros

A flexible learning experience, a job for extra income.

Cons

Not a job for starters without a huge network and budget. The makeup application techniques taught in trainings/seminar are not so up to date. If Sears are for seniors, and Sephora are for high-fashion people, than Mary Kay is just in-between.

Pros

Great flexibility. Great recognition. Support from Directors. Fabulous people. Family oriented. You can make some extra money that is good for small things.

Cons

Working all out 8 hours a day for four years. I am an experienced retail sales professional who worked in commission. I was not able to get people to buy without discounting greatly. Too many personal use consultants they could get it half off from. Made 5k last year. Directors padding numbers through family and friends. Ordering stock to keep their car and director status.
