      Pros

      Self employed; set your own schedule; no limit to your income potential; support is always there; constant training available; you can climb status level to make higher commission. Mary Kay gives women strength, confidence and a place to grow. Provides chances to win great prizes every quarter.

      Cons

      In order to climb the status ladder, you have to rely on your team for some success. You can earn awards based on your sales. Stepped down from director to consultant due to no insurance. Had to get a job w/ benefits.

      Pros

      Almost everything I've learned about direct sales, motivation, and leadership I initially learned from here and from Mary Kay Ash's books. One of the most generous profit percentages in retail sales in the industry. I have met life-long friends and mentors. They recognize my birthday and consultancy anniversaries. Customers have a strong loyalty. Product exchange process works smoothly.

      Cons

      While I understand the philosophy behind the dress code, it is rather rigid and outdated for someone like me who works this very part-time outside of full-time employment. I am professional but have to be practical and genuine to my personality. The color-coded dress by rank at company events can be intimidating. Your title can change monthly based on production, so I wasn't consistently able to wear my red jacket. Other companies let you claim your highest earned badge title for a year before official "demotion." I wish the quarterly qualifying production to remain active could be cumulative and not in one big order for more flexibility. And I wish incentive trips weren't only for the top elite.
