Pros

It was flexible - it isn't now, due to recent scheduling changes that make this job untenable especially for busy moms or people with another job...which is a huge chunk of who they originally hired and marketed the flexible role to. Hours became more and more unpredictable over the years too, which is bad news if you need the paycheck. It's work from home...that's about it.

Cons

I have left my share of reviews over the time I spent here. Each year was worse and worse. I burned out, lost all trust in management and my ability to ever grow, and felt pretty miserable (even as a high performer, I imagine it was worse for others who struggled to hit wild quotas). Finally quit and within months, had a new job and less therapy sessions scheduled since I finally felt valued and had a steady paycheck. The micromanagement, disorganization, and absolute separation and alienation of stylists from each other so that they can never chat, commiserate over inventory and tech issues, or organize, is absolutely real. There is also a lack of diversity made worse by the fact we hardly get a chance to talk with anyone else even though there are thousands of stylists. Upper management and other tenured roles have no idea what is going on in the world of thousands of stylists who are "the heartbeat of the company". Read all the long, detailed reviews - they are the real deal and there are tons of them here spanning several years now. Also, most stylists are part time meaning no benefits or PTO. Thirty unpaid hours of time off a year. It's no good.

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.
