Pros

The company is large enough to meet some nice people

Cons

Most who post are not employees yet beauty consultants who are not employed by the company. Regardless, this company is no longer faith based; it has no foundation as it once did. Totally corporate & does not care about its employees. Growth is limited and there is no innovation. Lots of underhand discrimination.

Pros

I've been working for Mary Kay now for almost 5 years. It's good because you can be your own boss. I love the local meetings, they have such inspiration and cheerful attitudes all around.

Cons

There is really no downside, except for the wait... waiting for customers to contact you with an order... otherwise, no bad side
