Pros

I get to be my own boss and I truly get to prioritize my faith, family, and career all in that order so that I can balance my life and be successful at the same time. This company has the highest commission than any other direct sales company in the US. I think the best part is that anyone can work this business whether you have 2 hours or 40 hours a week to put into to it. The company is designed for anyone that desires something more in their life. This is a Recession Proof company where layoffs don't exist!

Cons

Being your own boss can get tricky. You are the CEO, the Marketing Director,and of course the Consultant! No Motivation= Frustration!

Pros

I appreciate that I can work at my own pace. If I want to advance in my position, or even change my position, I am free to do so. The network of sharp and intelligent women inspire me as I work to reach my own goals. I have so many people to encourage and even help me attain those goals as well. The product is awesome and very comparable to other products in the beauty category. We, as consultants, receive continuous training and education whenever we want it.

Cons

The only downside for me is that when I don't work...I don't get paid. Go figure!

Cons

There is no downside. But you do own your own business you are a independent Beauty consultant -- This is not a JOB, this is a career. It is 100% commission based. Some may say that is a downside that is if your lazy and have no ambition anyone can be successful in Marykay if you willing to work and pay the price You have 2 choices in life--- work hard for someone else and make them rich or work hard for yourself and make yourself Rich. in any job there may be part you don't like yes you will hear NO's but you will also hear yes's this is a simple business but not always easy. But name anyone that is successful and had an easy road, not many this is much easier than what most people have to do to become successful Remember no matter what you do you must work hard to be successful, Mary Kay is no different But you do get paid what youe worth, not what a job is worth no one can fire you lay you off, the company is not going under, you don't have to put your kids in daycare go to the company web sight for more info www.marykay.com
