An amazing experience in a nurturing environment with a passion to help 750,000 independent beauty consultants.

Pros

The people care about what happens to you as a person rather than just another face around the office. Management allows any idea to come from any where as long as it's realistic and can be easily implemented. Supported by a powerful IT department that is always looking for the next big thing. This company puts the customer first and their customer service department is run from the heart rather than the wallet.

Cons

You have to be faith driven or you may tire of the faith filled messages. Nothing wrong with getting a little faith every day! You have to believe in women. If you don't, you won't make it here. Again, nothing wrong with getting your girl on! Hard to have a bad day when you are surrounded by such positivity!!

Pros

The company has great ideals and you can tell that members are passionate about what they do. It is great if you stick with it and invest the time. The contests and prizes are also amazing! It is all independent so you can work as little or as much as you would like.

Cons

Some consultants or directors can be pushy, you have to be in order to do well. Great if you want to, but it felt awkward and a little to car salesman for my taste.
