Pros
Mary Kay is an incredible opportunity for both men and women. There is no limit to your earning potential. It is based entirely on how much work you are willing to put into your business. I have an incredible mentor that has been a fantastic help in getting started. Once you have laid a strong foundation to work with, there is nothing to stop you. The people I work with are extremely supportive, and that is something I have never previously experienced in a work environment. Mary Kay is a job to be thankful for. People will always need their cleansers and makeup, even with a down economy.
Kontras
If you are not a slef-starter and self-promoter, it can be very tough to get started. Honestly, starting your business is the hardest part. There will be good days and bad days, but you have to learn to keep your head up and work through each individual situation. I have hosted classes that have only brought in $50 in sales. On those days, I felt defeated, so I had to remind myself that if I kept working at it, each successive class would get better. As the holidays get closer, I am having to keep a little more inventory (which means more money out of my pocket), but it should yield a higher number of sales.
