Pros

Pay, benefits, work place is old but well kept, at manufacturing. Corporate facilites very nice. Cafeterias were partially funded by the company, food was good, prices were very good. I believe that the current very top level executive does a great job.

Cons

Stress. They "claim" to practice the Golden Rule, but only in the opposite of what is meant! Work life balance they also preach but there is none in some departments. Everything depends on the VP you work for. If you advance in your career, how much you make, your level of satisfaction working there seems to be determined by who you work for. If you are not extremely well liked, but very competant in your work skills you will not go far. They still live in the 1970's. Too many of management have been there, and only there, too long.

Pros

Working at Mary Kay is an amazing experience, and you're the one in charge of it. No one tells you what to do or when to do it. And the best part is, you get out of it what you put into it. If you work hard and sell product, you can make as much money as you want, and you meet new people every day.

Cons

If you are unable to self motivate, it can sometimes be hard to keep going. But if you have a good director, then you'll get the encouragement you need.
