This story was submitted by a newer reader. Her story is the story of most of the directors. They make little to no money when you figure in all they spend on products, car co-pays, business expenses, and appearing to live #mymklife. She finally quit and feels free because of …
Reader Bill shares his experience with Mary Kay. His wife put his family in debt with Mary Kay, and the lies and financial wreckage eventually led to the end of their marriage. Everything on this website encapsulates my story. I won’t waste time repeating what has already been said so …
Poor Tina starts off confused. She doesn’t realize that Mary Kay has its consultants recruit into multiple levels (recruiter, director, senior director, nsd)…. making it multi-level marketing.

This piece was written several years ago by our member JTA. She was a longtime Mary Kay sales director who came close to becoming a national sales director, and then decided to give it all up. I’m running it again because it was so important to hear from someone who …

I find all your posts very amusing. A lot of the women in here seem to be having a big hangup about Mary kay and about the way that Mary Kay does business. The REAL PROBLEM is YOU. You are the ones who are all at fault because you didn’t …
Written by Lorraine I have been a consultant for about 6 months now. I’d like to start from the beginning. A good friend of mine starting selling. I came to one of her first parties. Her recruiter was supposed to be the one to run the show but she showed …
