Pros

It is a fantastic company to work for because it is a company created by Mary Kay Ash for women to build their own businesses. It is easy to learn, and the training is phenomenal. You just have to show up! Our products are second to none, and when people try them, they want to buy them! The business opportunity is a fabulous one, and there are more women in Mary Kay making over $100,000 than any other company in the US! Our skin care has been rated number one for the last 15 years, and it is because of our customer service and product1

Cons

Chargebacks. When a consultant sends back product, I don't think we should be penalized for it. We try very hard to get them to stay! Sometimes it is not our fault that consultants quit.

Pros

Wonderful coworkers, amenities at the Mary Kay Building, and overall a mostly pleasant place to work from a day to day perspective.

Cons

Senior management seems totally lost. Strategy is ever shifting, and seems based more on whatever management's current flight of fancy happens to be. Little to nothing has been done to address the very real long-term issues related to the business. There's a reluctance to meaningfully change or address systemic issues leading to an existential risk to the business. It's so bad, the former CEO is suing the current CEO for mismanaging the company. They are father and son. It's that bad.
