Pros

Ability to work from home and 40% discount on your purchases

Cons

This company has 0 respect for stylists - especially part-time. Major changes are rolled out constantly without warning or consulting. At this TECH company, system outages happen almost daily causing constant disruption to your workflow. The only solution offered for the disruption is to make up your time later in the week. There is no transparency, no empathy...just a thank you for being flexible (like we have an option) and the reminder that we will get through this with our #StitchFixGrit. We had to watch our CEO guest appear on Shark Tank and then hear the heavy news that 1400 California stylists would be fired very soon after...during a global pandemic. We will be told that the company is doing great and there are more clients than we can keep up with, and then the following week your hours will be cut to 5. The company made major cuts to hours RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS...DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC! There is no job security at all. They require you to be available for 20 hours each week, but can give you 0 hours....or 20 hours...or anything in between with only a few days heads up. This week I am only allowed to work 5 hours. Catering to someone who does not need a job to support themselves I guess as they certainly do not pay enough for you to support yourself on your own. They like to make you think that if you fail, it's because of something you are doing wrong....and nothing to do with the fact that there are only sweaters to send to a client in Texas during the height of summer. Toxic positivity and gaslighting run rampant. Lots of performative allyship - they make much ado about diversity initiatives but do nothing to protect the very groups that they are highlighting. Lots of attention has been given to this company for being created by a smart, strong woman - the same company does not protect the smart, strong women that are truly the backbone of its success.

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
