Pros

It is a flexible, powerful career. I have unlimited earning potential and the women are mostly supportive of one another. The company thrives on living by the Golden Rule....no other place excersizes that philosophy more.

Cons

It is hard! Simple, but hard. It takes a ton of self discipline. It must be treated as any other business adventure and some times it's not presented as that. Therefore, it is not taken as seriously by new entrepeneurs.

Pros

As a self-employed woman through Mary Kay Cosmetics, I was able to quit my 8-5 job and stay home for my teenage girls while retaining a professional salary. My opportunities for advancement are literally endless and when my last child is off to college, I will be able to invest more time in my business and make even more money to contribute to our family's needs and my retirement. The added bonus is that I am able, as a Senior Sales Director, to enrich the lives of other women and families by having a relationship with them as customers, team members & sales associates. I have always worked in a field that empowers women to be the best they can be and have found that this position embodies both the financial and the emotional/psychological aspects that make a career a lifestyle. The lifestyle is fantastic!!! Oh....driving the career car is pretty cool too!!!

Cons

none. really, it is the best!
