| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| Hi, I have a friend who got out of Mary Kay lately. She went on this bizarre tour of the company meme. First off, you get sponsored. Second, you have to watch a training video telling you to put up $600 to buy inventory. Then you can sell online. You have to pay for a website, pay for the privilege of getting paid into a credit or debit card that's from them and then to your bank if that is your preference. Then, you wait and also get into Zoom meetings with the group you have got into with. The group meets weekly. They all do a roll call to ask who did how many 'faces' that week. They're into doing faces and they seem not to care about the COVID problem. They do say virtual makeup sessions are what they want to do now but they said little of the safety thing in the past few meetings. Then their sales people tend to look less than happy. Then they tell you to have the merchandise ready from your inventory to send to your customers. You can't tell their warehouse to send the merchandise directly from their TX offices or whatever to the customer. It also dawned on my friend that she was considered "Inactive" mostly because she never did put up money to get a huge inventory order. So that meant she couldn't sell, even to herself! That was the last straw for my friend. It was sick and embarassing and she wasn't going to get into more of this sick thing any more. Tell your friends who use Mary kay the sort of bad things their consultants are having to put up with. Oh also to keep your standing as an Active member or what ever you have to keep buying $450 retail products every three months. I ask you, how wicked is that to a poor struggling housewife who only wants to help her family get some income? I don't know what other MLMs are like that but this has got to be the worst. It's so in your face everyone and they just think they can pull the wool over your eyes about this and the poor uneducated and probably unknowing women who do this for them are just forking over their income and pensions to sell Mary kay and ohh, this is so sad making. Hope this helps enlighten some peeps. |
