Pros

-you can work remotely -Flexible schedule -Easy job

Cons

-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.

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
