Pros

Coffee in house, great presents - cosmetics, bags etc

Cons

Too many fake smiles in pink environment, management pushing you to sell very expensive cosmetics, which is not worthy the price! Many pink events which are not about giving opportunity but selling products and show glory of a few who makes a lot of money. It is kind of sect of women who has no scruples selling everything they can pretending helping other women. Everyone slanders behind your back and all others. Environment is not healthy and pleasant. Management is overall incompetent.
