Mary Kay reviews

Tax benefits are fantastic! Able to write off purchases made for business, cell phone, internet, mileage to and from appointments and product delivery. Being your own boss, unlimited earning potential, supportive environment with other Mary Kay consultants and directors, confidence in using and sharing a great product line.

The best reason to work for Mary Kay is the simple! There are too many reasons why it's awesome, but as a Director, I loved that when I was reading the 1-5 "how happy are you..." questions that they made me laugh! Take a day off when I need it...check! Opportunity for advancement...check! Etc. Etc. They need to put a question on there about having the opportunity to earn a brand new car!! That's completely paid for and insurance and sales tax is covered too! Check! I love what I do because I was able to do it as a full time State Employee/Social Worker and now I do it full time! It fits into your schedule whether one night a week or as many days and nights as you want! The best part is the instant cash! Through direct customer sales or through commission we are paid VERY well for what we do! When you think you can work a party on Friday and another one on Sunday (totaling 5 hours of work) and make $1100...that's pretty exciting if you ask me! And I've done that on several occasions! Think of this...you're 23, fresh out of college and you're already working that "dream job" that you've always wanted! Just on the weekends, you're working your business and you bring home $2100 from the State each month, then your MK commission check comes and it's $4500 and you have your sales to add on top of that totaling about $1500 for the month (it was a slow month). That is over $8,000 that you've just brought home this month...and MK was 75% of it! I love having my college degree but I love the quick and great money you can make! Also, the room for advancement is amazing! Just by finding other women that want to do what we do, you can earn a free car, earn commission and advance in the company! It's your pace, fast or slow! You don't even have to build a team if you don't want to! You won't be penalized for choosing not to recruit, make a sale this week, or hit a deadline! The boss won't be breathing down your neck and when you do succeed you have the most amazing support system you could ask for! The best thing is that we are in business for ourselves, but not by ourselves! Some of the other perks about my job are the tax benefits! We can claim our rent (home based business), utilities, cell and home phone, internet, miles traveled, maintenance, gas, office supplies, EVERYTHING! The fun part about it...since we are in the beauty business, we can even claim our wardrobe, hair, nails, gym membership, tanning...it makes me giggle to think we are so lucky! Also, there are no territories in this business, meaning that we can sell and recruit to whomever, wherever! The company teaches us the Golden Rule way of thought in our sales, customer service, and when we interact with our consultants. Our priorities are faith, family, then career! They actually ask us to put our families first! No calling the boss asking for a day off because the little one is sick! Oh no...family emergency! We don't have to worry about taking off with or without pay because we are our own bosses! And when we feel like "calling in sick" and actually having a fun day...don't worry! The boss won't care! ;) In closing, I love what I do because I have the opportunity to raise a family and show them what a good work ethic and making and reaching a goal look like! It makes me feel like a better friend, wife, and overall person because of the personal growth that I've seen in myself. If a friend or family member is going through a crisis, I can be there for them at the drop of a hat because I've chosen to be the master of my own destiny! And I'm choosing now freedom, flexibility and stability in this rocky economy! I'm choosing a life that I'm proud to have and proud to tell everyone I meet about! I'm choosing MK!
