Mary Kay reviews

More competitive health insurance options.

Toxic environment of drama, micromanagement, mistrust, egotistical management styles in middle management. It's too bad they didn't observe the company's tradition of the "golden rule". Unfortunately, they are not reprimanded for creating this harsh work environment, and the pattern just continued. Lots of gossip and politics = drama. Employees are encouraged to give feedback to management. But when I did, I was reprimanded. No room for growth. I was turned down three times for promotions. The excuse was "we need you too much here". When I realized that I couldn't stand being treated like one of my manager's children anymore, coupled with the lack of growth and stagnation, I chose to leave. The ones who stayed for the benefits called it the "golden handcuffs". It's the sales force who make the money and are considered valuable. Corporate employees were considered (and I quote) "liabilities."
