Pros

Set your own hours, work from home

Cons

The number of Fixes we are expected to do per hour (4.6) is unreasonable. There often is barely anything in inventory, but our expectations remain the same. If we bring up any frustrations about ANYTHING at all on the internal message board (aka the only place we really get to talk to other coworkers) they tell you that "they hear you" and that's about it..then they tell you to reach out to your lead/manager. Every. Single. Time. "Please reach out to your lead with any more questions." Because they don't want to actually answer your question, especially when other stylists are able to see the response. During the Covid19 response they reduced all of the part-time stylist's hours to maximum 5 hours and then as soon as Stylists were able to file for unemployment (they told us to wait a certain amount of time) they upped the hours to about 10 per week, making it impossible for anyone to actually qualify for unemployment benefits - honestly, who can live on 10 hours a week at $15/hour? They just did this to avoid paying out for unemployment claims. The company only cares about itself, meanwhile, we hear all the time about how the stylists are the backbone of the company and then pull things like this over and over and over again. They only offer unpaid time off and they've reduced the amount of paid sick time so it's impossible to accrue any in a reasonable amount of time. Also they talk about how flexible the job is - but really the only way to style when there is decent inventory is during the daytime hours during weekdays. So if you're looking to take this job as a nights and weekend option, save yourself a huge headache and don't do it.

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
