A Mary Kay Bashing Website
I am a Mary Kay consultant myself and have read enough of the comments on your website to realize that this is just a Mary Kay bashing website.
Let me explain to you that I work a “real” job and work my Mary Kay part time. My real job is at a top two in the world printing company and that job really sux. I am simple a number to them, there is no recognition, no reward for doing a good job, only points added to my record when I have to be absent- and with 4 children there are times when a mother cannnot simple be there.
Why don’t you post Mary Kay policies of God first, family second, and career third. What about the positiveness of this company?
If I never reqruited anyone into Mary Kay, which I have, nobody brow beats me, this is my business and I can run how I please as to say I can build it at my own pace. If you and some of these other bashers would get a real job, sweat your ass off for 12 hours a day with little recognititon and even worse pay you would realize that Mary Kay is a Wonderful company to be a part of.
There is no secrets in Mary Kay. Get a real job and then see how you feel about Mary Kay.

Another one who hasn’t read a darn thing on the site, or she’d have seen heaps of people saying what a relief it is to have the regular paychecks and benefits of a real job. Or how they can’t fathom giving up the security of their job to take a chance on MLM. Or how you’re better off with a normal part time job because you make better bank with that than doing MK full time.
While I think working parents should get more cooperation from their employers, given the cost and scarcity of childcare, a number, a consultant number, is all you are to Mary Kay as well. They care about the orders you place and that’s it.
For most people a job is just money in the bank so they can do what they really want in their downtime.
Oh, and where the hell is “god first, family second” in the first family of MK? The mother burning through husbands and lying to increase her profitability? The father calling the son incompetent, the kids calling the father senile, the son being sued for playing fast and loose with trust money? They should be on Jerry Springer, not considered paragons of godliness.
She works for a printing company but her spelling sux, she simply cannnot seem to understand correct grammar, and when they reqruited her, they did so without her understanding correct punctuation? I’m so confused 😫
Yeah, based on her comment about “points,” her job is probably running machinery. This is sad!
So sad that a little recognition (based on success metrics that are skewed and some aren’t real) makes people go away with all critical thinking and defend a company blatantly taking advantage of them.
“Get a real job and then see how you feel about Mary Kay.”
What a ridiculous narrative that women either do Mary Kay or don’t work at all. I’m certain every single commenter here has had a “real job”, some here have very impressive professional credentials. Also, in slogan only is Mary Kay is God first, family second, career third. And other MLMs steal that line because it’s an effective recruiting pitch. But if you want to make any kind of money, it’s Mary Kay ALL the time.
This!! The ra ra calls, recognition events, prospecting, hosting parties, social media posts, follow ups, delivering orders…it literally never ends and there’s nothing to show for the efforts put in. Even for those with 10+ years in.
And before the huns get going, yes we’re aware that business owners put in a lot of effort and it takes time for them to see their fruits of their labor. But they have something to show for it like ownership and the ability to set up systems where their business eventually doesn’t need them to actually operate it to make money. Even for those at the top, if they rest for one second in MK, things will crumble immediately. MK has to be the priority and nothing about the model is sustainable.
Pink Truth Critic,
If Mary Kay is so great and your job is so bad, why not just quit your job and do MK full time? That seems like the obvious solution, no?
Is it because….(Gasp) You can’t actually support your family trying to sell Mary Kay, or you need things the company doesn’t provide, like health insurance?
“If you and some of these other bashers would get a real job, sweat your ass off for 12 hours a day with little recognititon and even worse pay you would realize that Mary Kay is a Wonderful company to be a part of.”
OP, I’m an RN/Clinical Nurse Specialist. I work 12-hour shifts 3-5 days a week. Don’t you dare lecture me or others about not sweating our asses off or working real jobs. What I do matters immensely to patients, their caregivers, and the community. Also, I receive plenty of recognition for a job well done and am well-compensated for what I do.
If you have solid skills in the printing industry and your current employer “sux,” I suggest you find a new employer. Companies in advertising and media frequently seek print buyers who understand the print industry. You’re not just printing books or magazines. You’re assisting with the selection of colors and layouts of fast food signs, menus, mailers (including junk mailers) and advertisements. — you name it. Take your talents and go elsewhere, and quit lecturing us on not having a “real job.”
