Pros

Great benefits Employees are professional and kind Good opportunities for development Compensation

Cons

There were none until the new CEO Ryan Rogers showed up and immediately made employees increase to four office days instead of three. He wants us to come in 5 days and probably will tell us to in a few months, despite multiple employee and management surveys proving that we would like a hybrid schedule of three or fewer in-office days, and despite many members of executive leadership and HR urging him to allow a hybrid schedule. But he seems bent on running the place like a dictator. Mary Kay has historically been one of the best places in the area to work but that is quickly changing, and the culture and values that the Company boasts about (family first/ making people feel important / an opportunity that fits your life) is becoming only a reality for the sales force and not employees.

Fun Work but Employees’ Best Interest not Considered

Pros

Free makeup on occasion. You learn a ton if you’re a creative.

Cons

Management can be selfish. They won’t promote you if you’re an asset to their team because they don’t want the hassle of having to replace you.

Pros

Salary, three days WFM per week

Cons

Very poor internal communication. Supervisor had unrealistic expectations for someone that was not internal. Supervisor actually told me not to come to her with questions! Almost no training, and was expected to know all aspects of my job within weeks of hire. I left within six weeks of my start there.
