Pros

Mary Kay is a great company to work for because you are working for yourself. You are your own boss; an independent business owner without all of the overhead. It is a business that you can work a lot for large pay off or a little for some extra cash on the side. The mentors above you are vested in you and have walked in your footsteps to get where they are; they are helpful and knowledgable. Be sure to choose your Mary Kay Business Partner (recruiter) well so that you can be involved with a unit that is growing, provides education for you - or will find a local director to adopt you for training, and that is positive. Mary Kay's mission is to Enrich Women's Lives....and it does!

Cons

You need to be motivated to work for yourself. What are your dreams? Where do you want to be in 5 years? If you worked your hardest at your current job, could you significantly change your financial situation? The sky is the limit with Mary Kay; the biggest paycheck is yet to be paid....career cars are waiting to be awarded...but you have to be willing to put in the work and be coachable and teachable to get to the top!
