Pros

Work from home. That’s literally the one and only pro I can think of.

Cons

Literally everything. The company is clearly planting five star reviews. I’m certain these are coming from the “leadership” team in styling who have nothing better to do then make idiotic graphics about how to find a plus sized client accessories (this is real), writing faux inspirational “live laugh love”/esque emails, or micromanaging their already overworked stylists. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO MY ENEMIES. -tech issues are constant, but you will always be told that you need to complete the high expectations for sending out the fixes. If you don’t meet the expectations you’ll be gaslit and told you’re incompetent. -leadership is toxic. Top down. There is constant shaming from leads to stylists - leads will shame stylists I’m group chats or meetings of someone speaks up about a challenge. They will reply saying “no one else is saying that” classic gaslighting. They’re positivity rah rah tech culture is completely toxic. This menial job is weighing on my mental health daily. -there is NO inventory. What is advertised, we do not see. The same clothes cycle through year after year. Right now they are pushing us to send athleisure, even if people don’t want it, because they overbought and didn’t plan well. -pay is low for the amount of time and effort it takes to complete anything. If there are tech issues you are expected to take a pay cut and stop working. I was also told that I could “use PTO to cover the difference if tech issues occur” seriously? What other decent company would make their employees use PTO for a problem outside of their control.

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
