Mary Kay Sucks
The lies Mary Kay consultants and directors tell about how “easy” it is to earn a car in Mary Kay and how little time it takes…
Out of your 168 hours week you will need to spend 12-15 hours a week in people time to earn and continue using your free company car. Suggested allotment of time:
6 hours – 3 classes per week
It pays big to have “Mary Kay cars” on the road. It costs Mary Kay Inc. NOTHING, and is essentially free advertising. Not only that, Mary Kay knows that the cars make people think the drivers are successful. If they got a “free” Mary Kay car, they must be making lots of money. The cars silently convince the masses that there is success (where none really exists).
Mary Kay Inc. doesn’t want you to take the available cash compensation option, because no one can see that but you. The company wants you to take the car because it advertises for the company, and it is fully paid for either via your team/unit production, or with your copay. The bottom line is that if your people don’t order enough to “pay” for your car, you have to pony up the money with a copay.
(This one was so good that I just HAD to recycle it!)
Did you know that God is now giving out pink Escalades? He is! Especially if you are Kathy and Dan Helou. Dan explains picking up the pink Escalade and then how fabulous it is that God gives out pink Escalades to those who work for Mary Kay, “a company that gives us a mission for the kingdom.” So start saving souls with Mary Kay!!! What blasphemy.
Changes to Mary Kay’s Grand Achiever and Premier Club Career Car Program announced July 2009:
It has been more than seven years since Career Car Program production requirements have increased. However, due to year-over-year cost increases, we are announcing the following Career Car Program changes:
It’s exciting talking about the value of that “free” Mary Kay car, isn’t it? How great to imagine not having a car payment again. We’d all like to be driving “free,” wouldn’t we?
The trouble is that the “free” Mary Kay car is not so free after all. If you don’t meet your minimum monthly or quarterly production, be prepared to pay a copay. And unfortunately, those copays exceed the real value of the car.

There are many discussions about the “Free” Mary Kay Cars. Many discussions about consultants and directors buying their way to the free car. And then, the dreaded co-pays. My Mary Kay journey and demise involves not only the car and co-pays but the insurance. I learned the hard way that MK Corp will twist anything and everything in their favor. NOT THE CONSULTANT’S!
So what happened? Well my journey with Mary Kay was several years ago. The cars were different then but qualification and maintenance were about the same. I “earned” my first car as a consultant. Now it feels more like I scammed 12 women with the help of my director.

We wondered if the Grand Prix would be changed to black to match the new compacts, and now we’ve got our answer! Why yes… the cars will be black like the new compacts.
Here’s the info Mary Kay is distributing about the not-so-free car program.
Starting with June 2007 qualifiers:

Many here on Pink Truth have commented at the seemingly exorbitant cost of earning a Mary Kay Career Car. Considering the full co-op payments (or full cash compensation in lieu of using a career car) range from $375 to $900 per month, many have posed the question, “How much would the monthly payment be if someone walked into a dealership and leased the same car?”
Now you finally earned the Mary Kay car and you get to go pick it up. So what can you expect to have to pay for and what does the company offer? Well, here are some answers for you:
First, you’ll want to have a fabulous party at the dealership so you can show off and have some great pictures! You’ll get to pay for it, unless you charge your unit members to attend (I am sure this has been done before) – then they can pay for the party for the car that they paid for! Woo-hoo!
