Pros
The flexibility to work when you want/need to. Low start up costs. The positive environment. Great Money! The opportunity to be my own boss while still having the support and training of senior management as well as sister consultants. Awesome prizes :) i.e. diamonds and cars. I've met so many wonderful people, and been able to enrich so many womens lives. The personal and professional growth has been phenomenal. The company philosophy is God first, family second, and career third, and runs on the golden rule of treating others as you would want to be treated. There are no territories, I can bring my business with me anywhere in the United States. The Mary Kay Ash Charitable foundation funded by Mary Kay corporate and independent beauty consultants donates millions of dollars every year to fight domestic violence and help find a cure for all types of cancers that affect women. The Pink Doing Green initiatives show how Mary Kay is constantly striving to find ways to have a positive impact on our environment. It's fun and I get to help women look and feel FABULOUS!
Cons
You have to be your own boss, that means you need to plug in and take advantage of all the resources available, you won't be forced to go through the training. In this business you are your worst enemy. You've got to believe in yourself.
