I am a previous Mary Kay lady. It is a scam and it is a pyramid/ponzi scheme. FYI
I made a little money, but only ever received 1 commission check due to my director "forgetting" to submit my commissions. I even won a trip (2 nights in Florida and 2 nights in Daytona) but I wasn't allowed to go on it because I am divorced (married people only) and I do not make 50k a year. I even sent an email to my former director stating this and she will not answer me back. Mary Kay the company may have started with a great idea and honest intentions, but it is not that way anymore. People (sales and national directors) are as crooked as 3 dollar bills and if you are considering this as an easy source of income, run fast and far the opposite direction.
Here is a copy of the email I sent my director which received no response.

Connie,
Remember that trip I "won" from you on a sales campaign we had last June? Well, I tried to go ahead and use it recently and found out a couple of interesting facts. First off, you are required to be married. As of Oct. 20, 2011 I am divorced. Marilynn also won that same trip and she has never been married. (I visited the website: www.bookmyfloridatrip.com last week to actually book the trip for next month and under the terms and conditions part of it (which i read) it stated You must be married, be between the ages of 25-68, have a valid credit (not debit) card and have an annual household income of $50,000 or more. If these conditions were not met and cannot be proven to the company doing the timeshare presentations, then you are not eligible for the trip. I am not married. I did not make 50k last year (although this year I should go over that amount) So the only part I am ok on is that I am still under 68 and over 25.
I am pretty upset about it all as i had worked hard and saved back some spending money so that my daughter and i could go on this trip next month. Guess I will have to work a little harder and save a little more to actually pay for everything.
All in all, I am pretty frustrated by all things Mary Kay. In June it will be one year since I placed an order. I currently work in sales for a large company. I am very successful at it and I like it. Through my experiences at Mary Kay, i learned that in order for a new rep to be successful (s)he needs to have a positive line of communication open with all levels of management directly involved with that rep. (S)he needs to be able to rely upon and utilize the support system in the managerial structure. At any given time the rep needs to know that the answers (s)he seeks are truthful, honest and that a senior member of management will uphold the answers that they give the rep are filled with decency, integrity and respectfulness. Managers need to be aware of problems their reps face and handle those problems in a timely fashion if need be.
As a rep with Mary Kay, I know I wasn't given much in the way of support, positive communication, honesty or integrity from upper management
As a Sales/Training Rep for a large communications company, I do my utmost to train, keep all lines of communication open 24/7 answer all questions in a timely fashion and with integrity and honesty. I treat those under me, the way I want to be treated by my managers. If that means I go the extra mile or a thousand miles more, that is what I do to keep good people on my team and great customers for the company.

As a result of the trip I won that I cannot use, as well as lack of communication and support from supervisors aka directors at Mary Kay, I formerly request that my name be removed from all future email communication as well as Ariana Snodgrass' name (my daughter that was to go on trip with me and a former Mary Kay lady). Please also remove my name as a Mary Kay lady/sales rep from your team.
Consider this my formal written resignation from Mary Kay
Thank you
Lisa

Jinni Dempsey, a consultant in the Birmingham market is one of the most unprofessional tepresentatives I have ever talked with at Mary Kay. Her sales tactics are deceptive, dishonest and after sharing with many people how I was treated they all agreed with me. In addition to her manipulative sales methods, she harassed me with emails, phone calls and then had the gall to snd me a final email stating she would immediately delete any future correspondence frome! Real classy! She needs to be counseled in how to treat people and how to conduct a proper business!

My daughter, Angelina Adams, purchased about $50 worth of various Mary Kay cosmetics from her friend for my birthday, Sept. 2009. There were 2 liquid make ups, and 2 lip colors, and everything wrong color. We let ms. Mary Scherra know this immediately and she said she'd let us pick new colors and would replace. She planned to have a baby shower a couple months from then and said just bring it to her then and we could pick the colors. The shower ended and when I asked if she had a minute to let me look at a color chart she said it would have to be done another time... so now we have NOTHING.

She had her baby around in FEBRUARY 2010... i EVEN WENT BY THE HOSPITAL TO SEE HER!
wE'VER HEARD NOTHING ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT PRODUCTS. My daughter has contacted her two times and has visited - still NOTHING. I want my products replaced. wHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP. mARY LIVES ON lAUREL St. Richmond (Chesterfield), VA.
