Pros

Flexible time management and good pay Easy onboarding process with a lot of information Opportunities for in person events Inclusive team

Cons

Managers are very picky and 'reach out' to you whenever you make the smallest of mistakes (e.g clocking in 10 minutes more or less, or not following procedures which make no difference) You are taught to make people pay more for clothes (by choosing higher priced items) even if it's not more fitting for their style just to meet business needs, which takes a lot of personalisation out of the experience Metrics, performance and profits are the only things the company cares about, with a fake positive cover to make everything seem friendly and fun but just comes across as passive aggressive Very basic and overpriced clothing, which can be found cheaper elsewhere

Pros

You are able to work from home

Cons

Very unmotivating work environment. You get a couple of small raisies when you first start but then they cut off raises and expect you to perform at 100% efficiency 100% of the time. There is no motivation to do so. You are basically chained to you desk while you style because everything you do is timed. They provide no tools or stipend for the items you need in order to work from home. No internet stipend, nothing towards your computer, I never even got a pencil after being there 5 years. You have little no interaction with other people. The inventory is poor. Management is always turning over. I think I had about 8 different managers over my 5 years there. They mico manage you. You would think styling would be a creative job but not here. You don't even get to write your own note to a client anymore. AI writes it and you pretty much have to go that route bc you have about 8 minutes to style a client to stay within your efficiency goals. Overall its great that you can work from home but the job is extremely unmotivating and not rewarding. There is no room for advancement. DO yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This is not the company or culture you want.
