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!

Pros

Working for Mary Kay gives you the opportunity to buy products at cost. Which is a wonderful benefit.

Cons

The high level of inventory one is pushed to have on hand is financially draining. The pressure put on consultants to meet a certain status within the company is frustrating. The lack of understanding from leadership when there are family reasons you cannot work the business as much is discouraging. Leading is one thing - pushing is another. Becoming a Mary Kay Consultant will be a financial disaster if you do exactly what the leadership tells you to.
