Pros

Flexibility - MK is designed so that you can do as little or as much as you want. If you only want to make an extra $100 per month or if you want to become a National director with the whole pink caddie thing. It's all up to you, you make your own goals and decide when to reach them. Compensation - there is no middle man or cut that MK takes from your profits it is a simple you buy wholesale and sell retail. You buy for $5 and sell for $10. For signing up team members you get 4% to 9%+ on their purchases (not their sales). The cars of course are wonderful 2yr lease or a monthly check in the mail very nice. Not to mention period prizes you get based on inventory purchased. Jewelery, purses, and lots more that you win along the way. Enjoyability - MK ladies are wonderful the support is great and the spirits of everyone are amazing. The job is fun you can't get much better than to get paid to play with makeup and have parties!

Cons

Haven't come across any yet although I don't know if they offer any benefits like health/dental etc

Pros

Priorities...God first, family second, career third. I can work my own hours and at my own pace so I am Able to travel and even take my business with me. I enjoy working with the people I want and watching people grow as they move up in their own business.

Cons

Trying to overcome the stereotype that people put on Mary Kay consultants. It is a business just like any other and it has its ups and downs. Like anything else you have to work at it to be successful.

Pros

Mary Kay was founded on basic principles to enrich a woman's life. You can have a successful career while placing your faith first, family second and your career third. I also love being my own boss! I am completely responsible for my success or failure, and I create my own schedule! The flexibility is so helpful! You can basically determine your monthly paycheck by following the "numbers, " and figuring out the equation that fits your needs. Mary Kay is the first company I have worked for that is predominantly women, and all the women truly want you to succeed! Your success is not only a personal success, but a team success as well, and it is just an extremely positive work atmosphere.

Cons

The main downside for me is the lack of insurance and benefits from the company. I know I can research and find a good insurance company outside of Mary Kay, but benefits are always convenient when they are worked into your workplace. Also, if you are not a motivated and disciplined person, you will have to work harder to be successful because there is no boss telling you what you need to get done. It is completely up to you.
