Pros
Mary Kay was founded on basic principles to enrich a woman's life. You can have a successful career while placing your faith first, family second and your career third. I also love being my own boss! I am completely responsible for my success or failure, and I create my own schedule! The flexibility is so helpful! You can basically determine your monthly paycheck by following the "numbers, " and figuring out the equation that fits your needs. Mary Kay is the first company I have worked for that is predominantly women, and all the women truly want you to succeed! Your success is not only a personal success, but a team success as well, and it is just an extremely positive work atmosphere.
Kontras
The main downside for me is the lack of insurance and benefits from the company. I know I can research and find a good insurance company outside of Mary Kay, but benefits are always convenient when they are worked into your workplace. Also, if you are not a motivated and disciplined person, you will have to work harder to be successful because there is no boss telling you what you need to get done. It is completely up to you.
