Pros

Freedom to work how much & how often you wanna work, you write your own paycheck... The money is available to you at your willingness & the recognition given is more then I ever imagined it to be. My self image has changed so much over the past 7 years in such a positive way. Getting the product at cost, driving a free car (that would be 4 cars for me in 7 years) and all the tax breaks are just minor perks of the business. My favorite part of this opportunity are the relationships I have created & the friends I have made!!!

Cons

The monthly minimums required even when your health is bad or other such occurances

Pros

My last employer closed their doors and I found myself left high and dry. Mary Kay has been around for 45 years and have a lasting relationship with women in general. People will continue to wash their faces even if the price of gas goes up. How can you go out of business like that. It's a secured income. You work, You eat!

Cons

It's all about who you sign up with... Find a person who is going places and they will take you with them. I have noticed that because I'm getting some GREAT training it's paying off. I did not sign up with a relative because she had been doing this business for over 7 or 8 years and still had nothing to SHOW for it. From what I'm learning from the powerhouses I've come in contact with... It doesn't take long to change your life. They want to help me, they want to see ME driving a free car and living debt free.

Pros

I love Mary Kay because I can work when I want to work, or when I need extra money, then when times where I cant work as much roll around, I still get paid from the work I did in the previous months. I also love the way you can promote yourself. If I want to move up in the company I can, I don't have to wait for someone to tel l me I am good enough. I love the products and you don't have to be a salesperson to sell Mary Kay, the products sell them selves. Its a great Company.

Cons

If you want to get rich quick or do nothing to make money, this is not for you. You need to work to make money, but its a simple concept.
