Pros

Flexible hours. Work from anywhere. Company discount.

Cons

On top of them taking 6-9 months to complete a hiring process, you feel like you're always "ON". Very little chance to flex up to fulltime unless you are a manager. Minimal contact with other "team members" and management. You are given minimal time to style clients. They would like you to complete a client in 12 Min while building a relationship with them individually which is insane. If you have a particularly difficult client or one that needs extra attention it doesn't matter. These times will affect your overall metrics and you will be penalized. Items are insanely overpriced! You are encouraged to "push" items to clients that are frankly not worth the price and constant client complaints about the manufacturing or receiving items with stains. This was definitely not the stylist job I thought it was going to be. As the months went on this did not feel exciting and made me feel more and more like a money maker for a company with little interest in its clients. Great for stay at home moms who need 15 hrs of extra pay. Not recommended for anyone actually interested in fashion or a financially dependable position.

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
