Stitch Fix reviews

>nearly zero room for growth >increasingly less flexibility as company grows >HQ people are rude, disrespectful and condescending to stylists >dismal pay rate with almost no chance for meaningful raises, despite hard work, high performance, and loyalty >isolated work life - almost zero interaction with co-workers >disingenuous company 'culture' >continued inventory issues that make styling within 14 and some odd number of minutes really hard, yet stylists forced to be held accountable for their poor merch planning via below acceptable metrics >meetings in which management is really rude and condescending towards styling team for voicing problems and concerns, and no action being taken to improve the stylist experience

-serious issues with lack of opportunities-I mean ZERO -leadership is constantly talking about "transparency" but you will be the last to know about any company updates and most definitely will not be invited to any events unless they are the quarterly stylists specific events (they don't even include you in their lavish holiday party but throw a really sad and scrappy one for stylists only on a weekday night); -you can't even see your exact metric numbers even though they can see them (they say they can't, yet can tell you on the backend that they see improvement coming soon) -serious issues with inventory-they will tell you that "we have the best success when inventory is low"-this is impossible because if a client asks for NO tank tops and there is literally nothing but tank tops in our inventory, you have no choice but to send items they point blank do not want. -metrics are measured on a rolling 4 week average so if you choose to flex down a week and inventory is low and see a hit on your metrics, it will stick with you for weeks and then they will put you on a performance plan to review what you did 4 weeks ago. -If you are on a plan, you will see how you get zero value from any tips they try to give you- it is all fluff -there is hardly any training after on-boarding so tenured stylists are stuck with styling the same way even when processes have changed -don't expect to be incorporated in anything from HQ or the offices if you are a Stylist-treated like second class citizens while they have continuous team building activities and perks for HQ employees. -there is no motivation to attend any of the events because they barely pay you for them (zero pay for travel even though they require driving sometimes a few hours away) and the activities are condescending and even childish enough to remind you of elementary school.
