Pros

Remote work from home position that allows you to work from your own home office.

Cons

There is zero job security here. They will never guarantee how much you will actually work. They will never tell you what you can actually work in a given week until just 2 days prior, yet you're expected to carve out a minimum of 20 hours a week for scheduled shifts that you may or may not get to keep. You no longer get to work a flexible schedule like we have for years (the perk of the job that's now gone) and all work must be done in set scheduled shifts. They gave the majority of their employees just 8 days notice to accept this major change or resign. If you choose to stay they will not even allow you to review the official new employee handbook and attendance policy until 5 days after you choose to leave or stay. As a result, you cannot even confidently make an appropriate life changing decision. Most of the upper management has had a high turnover rate over the last year including CEO change. The employees are spending large portions of the week doing things that appear to just be training algorithms that will replace the majority of us so even if we stay there is no guarantee for how long. They offered an exit pay but with no guarantee if you'll get it because there is an undisclosed cap on it. Now it will be a competition to quit first. Upper management dealt with these changes with tone deaf, insensitive, and conceited emails and video regional calls talking about themselves and how awesome they think they are and dismissing any real and valid questions by ignoring or saying "oh more to come." There is never room for actual growth for the majority of employees, especially since both lower management and upper management act like a non-professional sorority. Employees who have worked for the company for years as consistent high performing employees are taken advantage of and undervalued and have watched the once positive work ethos crumble. Lower management should be concerned because if they're really letting go of so many stylists there will be no reason to keep as many people in lower management positions anymore.

Pros

The people you actually work with are actually fantastic humans and brilliant engineers. They're eager to learn, collaborate, and help no matter what level they are or team they're on. You can make real friends here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business just hasn't been as stable as it used to be. Leadership is always changing something and there isn't as much transparency about those decisions as there once was.

Pros

• I work with genuinely kind, supportive people who are always willing to jump in and help or give feedback to help me grow. • I've had the opportunity to partner with a variety of teams and build meaningful relationships across the business even from a remote setting. • Flexible work environment that allowed for a healthy work-life balance. • I've always felt trusted to manage my workload and bring new ideas to recruiting processes. • Mission-driven culture with employees who truly cared about helping clients feel confident in their personal style. • Great place to develop recruiting skills while working alongside talented and thoughtful teammates.

Cons

• Stakeholder alignment could take time when multiple teams were involved in hiring decisions. • I honestly don't have many cons to share. I can genuinely see myself working at Stitch Fix for many years to come. It's a company that truly values its people, and I'm proud to say I work here when people ask. The culture, mission, and people make it a place where I feel supported, challenged, and excited to contribute every day.
