Pros

I get to meet nice women and I help them look better and feel great. Life is too short to facial grumpy women! I work with positive encouraging women, who are like sunshine that live the Golden Rule. I love Mary Kay's philosophy of God first, family second and career third. i've been with MK for 22+ years and it has been a wonderful part-time opportunity that will now allow me to work full-time too.

Cons

Wiping the mirrors clean got to be old, so I delegated that to my children. It helps to be a self-starter and have somewhat of an entreprenuerial spirit. Sometimes being your own boss can lead to procrastination.
