Workshops: Sometimes the workshops are just pointless. There isn't enough inventory to implement what they like to teach us, so it's a waste of time.
Shopping off the Website: The items on the website vs. the inventory I see styling are VASTLY different. I do not buy for one second that these new items I see are also for stylist to pick from as I NEVER see some of the items on the website and I style everyone out of each warehouse.
Multiple Warehouses: If everything was in one warehouse, then we should be able to see every single item that is available.
Inventory: Oh boy. I have been a stylist for 3 years. Since then, we have been told promise after promise that we will see an improvement and that they hear us "loud and clear". Nothing changes. I have seen the same PINK CLOVER sweater (if you are a stylist--you know) over and over and over again for the past 3 years. Oh, but wait, let us add yet ANOTHER color than adding a new item. There are no more sweaters or trendy winter attire. I feel like they only show us in Minx what they want to push--not their full inventory.
Metrics: Alright. My beloved Stitch Fix-- if you expect me to live up to a specific standard then PLEASE do us a favor and live up to them also. There is NO inventory. None. No one wants a floral blouse past the first 5 Fixes. No one wants the same sweater in 5 different colors. No one wants the $70 quilted vest. Yet, when my metrics fall, I'M the blame? I love this job. I work hard to try and send clients items they will love-- but there is nothing but duplicate items. I shouldn't be judged poorly for YOUR lack of inventory and planning. Also, no one wants a $40 plain black see-through tee.
Minx: When I type in "dresses" can you just show me ALL of the dresses please? I'm talking solids, short sleeves, long sleeves--everything. Not the same floral stuff no one wants anymore. This goes for all categories.
Job Security: I'm very worried for the future of Stitch Fix. I really do love my job--I feel like we get paid well for what we do; however, I don't think this will last much longer and my flexible job will be no more.
