Pros

- great products - learned a lot about skin care and makeup - learned some good marketing and sales strategies

Cons

- encountered some really nasty ladies, including several Directors who seemed to think they were God's gifts to the universe and that they didn't need to do the same kinds of courtesies they'd expect from consultants. - be prepared to work extremely hard, spend a LOT, and not necessarily break even on your investment. AND be told it's just that you didn't work hard enough.

Pros

Paid Benefits, 9 Paid Holidays + 2 Floating Holidays, employee discount. Pay is good and competitive.

Cons

If you're not part of a click you can forget about getting promoted. Long term employees are often passed over for fresh graduates or candidates from other companies. Culture has nearly completely eroded due to the influx of external candidates. Trust is nonexistent although highly preached.
