Pros

Ability to work from home and 40% discount on your purchases

Cons

This company has 0 respect for stylists - especially part-time. Major changes are rolled out constantly without warning or consulting. At this TECH company, system outages happen almost daily causing constant disruption to your workflow. The only solution offered for the disruption is to make up your time later in the week. There is no transparency, no empathy...just a thank you for being flexible (like we have an option) and the reminder that we will get through this with our #StitchFixGrit. We had to watch our CEO guest appear on Shark Tank and then hear the heavy news that 1400 California stylists would be fired very soon after...during a global pandemic. We will be told that the company is doing great and there are more clients than we can keep up with, and then the following week your hours will be cut to 5. The company made major cuts to hours RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS...DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC! There is no job security at all. They require you to be available for 20 hours each week, but can give you 0 hours....or 20 hours...or anything in between with only a few days heads up. This week I am only allowed to work 5 hours. Catering to someone who does not need a job to support themselves I guess as they certainly do not pay enough for you to support yourself on your own. They like to make you think that if you fail, it's because of something you are doing wrong....and nothing to do with the fact that there are only sweaters to send to a client in Texas during the height of summer. Toxic positivity and gaslighting run rampant. Lots of performative allyship - they make much ado about diversity initiatives but do nothing to protect the very groups that they are highlighting. Lots of attention has been given to this company for being created by a smart, strong woman - the same company does not protect the smart, strong women that are truly the backbone of its success.

Pros

You are able to work from home

Cons

Very unmotivating work environment. You get a couple of small raisies when you first start but then they cut off raises and expect you to perform at 100% efficiency 100% of the time. There is no motivation to do so. You are basically chained to you desk while you style because everything you do is timed. They provide no tools or stipend for the items you need in order to work from home. No internet stipend, nothing towards your computer, I never even got a pencil after being there 5 years. You have little no interaction with other people. The inventory is poor. Management is always turning over. I think I had about 8 different managers over my 5 years there. They mico manage you. You would think styling would be a creative job but not here. You don't even get to write your own note to a client anymore. AI writes it and you pretty much have to go that route bc you have about 8 minutes to style a client to stay within your efficiency goals. Overall its great that you can work from home but the job is extremely unmotivating and not rewarding. There is no room for advancement. DO yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This is not the company or culture you want.
