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.

Pros

-Create your own schedule -Be your own boss -Make a decent income (as long as you're dicsiplined with cutting yourself a "paycheck" -Awesome support from other Mary Kay "sisters" -Make a difference in other women's lives -Free training which will help in all areas of life (money management, time management, emotional management, how to talk to people, how to sell and not be "pushy", etc) -Really, really fun corporate events on a quarterly basis (this was my favorite part) -Prizes (we're talkingg diamonds, trips, cars, etc...)

Cons

-You really have to depend on others to work in order to make money if you are recruiting -A lot of times, people won't hold their appt times for their facial, thus, you make no money -People signing up and then disappearing -People quitting and sending inventory back after you've poured everything into them -Not a guaranteed paycheck (unless you are doing it 24/7...I tried that. It's rough on your family.)
