Company takes care of employees very well. Most managers are very understanding and accomodating

Pros

Working on your own schedule. Good profit margins. Good training and support.

Cons

Not only are you competing with all the other markets for cosmetics, there are too many consultants out there. Even in your own warm market of friends and family, they already know someone else who is selling Mary Kay and have already tried the products. I couldn't get a skin care class together to save my life. After friends and family I tried advertising and talking to strangers at stores, etc. Most every one had heard of Mary Kay and already had a Mary Kay consultant if they were interested in the product. Unless you have money to get started with inventory, it is a tough way to build a business.

Pros

Pay, benefits, were all top notch. They provide you with the golden handcuffs so you can't find another job that pays as well or that match the benefits.

Cons

poltical, political, political. No matter how good you are at your job, if someone doesn't like you, it's all down hill. Management does not protect employees but leave you hanging out to dry. Too many so called Christians at the company that do not know the meaning of the word! Moto is the Golden Rule, but in reverse, do unto others before they do it to you! Mean hateful management.
