Pros

I love working for Mary Kay. I set my own hours, goals and the potential is AWESOME! I win prizes every quarter and make money at the same time. If I need some extra cash I just make a few phone calls and VIOLA! The opportunity to help other ladies is fun and I meet new people all the time. The best part is I AM THE BOSS. I decide how I want to work and when.

Cons

There really is no downside. It is what you make it.

Pros

Mary Kay is a great company to work for because you are working for yourself. You are your own boss; an independent business owner without all of the overhead. It is a business that you can work a lot for large pay off or a little for some extra cash on the side. The mentors above you are vested in you and have walked in your footsteps to get where they are; they are helpful and knowledgable. Be sure to choose your Mary Kay Business Partner (recruiter) well so that you can be involved with a unit that is growing, provides education for you - or will find a local director to adopt you for training, and that is positive. Mary Kay's mission is to Enrich Women's Lives....and it does!

Cons

You need to be motivated to work for yourself. What are your dreams? Where do you want to be in 5 years? If you worked your hardest at your current job, could you significantly change your financial situation? The sky is the limit with Mary Kay; the biggest paycheck is yet to be paid....career cars are waiting to be awarded...but you have to be willing to put in the work and be coachable and teachable to get to the top!

Pros

The sky is the limit in what you can make in Mary Kay. You can move at your own pace. There are no quotas. or territories I love the flexibility, and love being my own boss. Earning a new career car. The Job security of owning your own business. Making new friends. Learning skin care & glamour techniques. Company philosophies-God 1st, Family 2nd, & Career 3rd. Tax advantages/savings. Prizes & Recognition, Products at wholesale cost. Develop greater self confidence. Opportunity to Travel. WE write our own paychecks, and we decide whehn we want to climb to corporate ladder.

Cons

It is really hard to list a lot of downsides. I see only that it would be hard to be successful if you were not discipline , and had good work ethnics. The company is so fair, and they provide every opportunity to educate you and train you. You must apply yourself.
