Pros

The company is large enough to meet some nice people

Cons

Most who post are not employees yet beauty consultants who are not employed by the company. Regardless, this company is no longer faith based; it has no foundation as it once did. Totally corporate & does not care about its employees. Growth is limited and there is no innovation. Lots of underhand discrimination.

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.
