Pros

Literally none. You can work from home but the hours are not flexible (You're scheduled down to the minute two weeks in advance for hours you may or not be granted) or reliable (Hours may swing anywhere from 25 per week which you'll be expected to fulfill or less than 10 hours without any real explanation from management, you're just expected to deal with it).

Cons

Ever since this company has gone public their aim is money and nothing else at all costs. They are banking on the hope that their staff & clients don't wise up to this fact. Don't fall for it. They want to be a contender in the modern retail world of online shopping and try to employ slave-driving tactics similar to those grueling conditions that we've heard about at Amazon, only Stitch Fix can't even deliver the quality service that a company like Amazon offers. They will shove florals, stripes, out of date + out of season inventory down your throat until the cows come home because rather than actually listening to the feedback of their clients + stylists, they function from a strict top down line of decision making that will simply not budge. Meanwhile they have and will no doubt continue to force loyal, dedicated, and talented stylists (I cannot stress enough how much the creativity and smarts of our stylists are the ONLY saving grace of this incredibly dysfunctional company) out of their roles at their convenience (Usually it seems that dumping a great deal of workers helps up their purported stock numbers... less staff to pay= the value of the company seemingly increases). I honestly could go on and on about the cons of this company. But I'll stop here and just direct you to the other honest reviews on this wonderful website. I know that Glassdoor is keen to remove fake reviews. That being said, I am confident that many FAKE positive reviews sneak through..Note, these positive reviews can rarely elaborate on anything while the TRUE negative reviews will be able to defend/explain their stance thoroughly. Just please, trust us stylists. I wish I could still work for this company because I love styling, but I just can't be mistreated like this any longer. Don't let yourself be used by them. Wish I could rate the company as zero stars or negative stars.

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.
