Pros

work from home, set your own schedule

Cons

basically everything else. inventory is consistently terrible, I see the same horrible floral print 100% polyester tops now that were in rotation when I started as a stylist two years ago. they'll occasionally invest in trend-forward pieces but they're extremely limited and more often than not too expensive for most clients. this makes your job a boring chore because 9 out of 10 times, you're just cobbling together terrible clothing in the best way you can manage and then trying to hype it up to your client in a desperate and embarrassing bid to get them to buy the pieces. management is bizarrely, artificially positive and if you have a serious logistical question your lead will absolutely not be able to answer it for you. they'll give you some twisted canned response that's really confusing and means absolutely nothing. however, if you want to start an email thread with your "styling team" about your favorite hot coco recipes, they'll be all about it and you'll be celebrated for your fantastic team spirit. it's really, really embarrassing. lastly, and most importantly, our hours have been severely cut for the second time since COVID hit. this most recent cut occurred at the end of December and is ongoing indefinitely. unlike the first time a cut happened, there has been no communication about applying for or receiving unemployment. if I hadn't already had a claim open from the first cut, I would've gone from making enough to help support my family to making about $600 a month. if you're looking for something supplemental this could be decent but do not expect steady income and do not expect to do rewarding work.

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.

Pros

- The company started out with good intentions I feel, as we have the ability to set our own schedule and working from home is always a plus.

Cons

- As time goes on, more and more have been taken away from stylists. Our scheduling freedom was removed this year, which was a huge reason most people applied for this job. In other part time jobs, you can usually give shifts away or trade with others, but now you have no flexibility and are expected to work max hours every week. - Stylists have not been given a raise in years and instead are capped after you work here for so long. - Seems like the company is heading in a direction for stylists to be taken over by AI, but we'll see! - You are completely controlled by your metrics, which a lot of times you have no control over because of bad inventory, but will be monitored and put on corrective action + eventually fired if your metrics aren't always where the company wants them to be
