Pros

cute and trendy office space.

Cons

You think you are going to be thrown into this awesome world of trendy fashion but all of the customers are middle-aged women with boring style! As a stylist you sit on your laptop your entire shift and style orders and it can get excruciatingly boring. We have ridiculous goals to achieve. If we are behind on goals we get told we need to hurry up and yelled at. We are expected to reach 6-10 orders an hour, I fear for my job when I fall behind. I am scared to even use the bathroom or have a meeting for fear that I will get in trouble. And now comes the problem with inventory, they had us send out sweaters, jeans, and jackets in SUMMER! So obviously customers were upset and left us bad reviews. Well even though we were TOLD to send out this stuff we still get reprimanded when our scores go down and get reviews saying "you sent me cold weather stuff in the middle of summer". Now on to the issue with hours, I am part-time and was promised 32 hours a week. Great! That's just what I'm looking for because I am in school! I think there was one month where I actually had that consistently, now I have 8 hours every other week and am lucky if I reach 25 the next. This is not good for someone with bills etc.. This company is a fluke, they overwork the stylist manager and when there is not enough orders they come up with these random "theme boxes" like the End of Summer box, people order them and guess what!? We don't have ANY summer clothes!! & guess who gets in trouble when the customer is upset their summer edit doesn't have summer clothes in it?! The stylists do. Also they schedule you to work 6-8pm some nights like what?! I never said I was available and then they will scheudule you every single weekend! Yes Sundays too! The best thing I can say about this company is they have cute place to work and the idea of it is great. Side note they cut the holiday pay this year. This is a horrible company to work for with so much potential.

Pros

Cool looking workspace? That's about it.

Cons

This company is a joke. They are going downhill real fast. They just let go of 27 employees in the most unprofessional way possible and handled it horribly. Wantable is not expanding at all and just seems to be taking steps back. Management is horrible. Kept promising positive outcomes and changes, but nothing happened except for people getting laid off. CEO does not know anything about the fashion business and just hires and keep his friends as employees - Nobody in this company seems to know whats going on. Low pay compared to other fashion jobs and no recognition for the hard work their employees do.

Leadership needs to take a step back

Pros

I guess the space is cool. When it’s not leaking.

Cons

The CEO likes to hire buddies that have very little knowledge of the industry/market, pay them unreasonable salaries, and then expect little actual work from them. To counter this and make it seem that he also hires outside of his group of friends, he makes a great show of hiring very talented individuals/specialists and sells them on the meager salary by pitching them on the benefits of “startup life”. Unfortunately, he then quickly runs them off (I saw this time and time again during my years there) by ignoring everything they have to say, micromanaging their every move, and believing he knows better than the experts he hired. I wanted to be a believer. I put in way more time here than I should have. I felt like there was something beneath all the noise that could make the company stand out, but you can only take things so far when leadership makes it impossible to do your job.
