Pros

Every pro from this company as an employee has been taken away. They are only out for themselves and everyone else is disposable.

Cons

Too many things to even name, but save yourself the fake promise of #StichFixGrit and how you are to show loyalty, optimism and flexibility when in turn you are turned on and disposed of. Originally claimed to empower women, mothers, single mothers, teachers and those looking to contribute to their families success and over-all well-being. Only to have that all take away in one foul swoop. Limiting our hours to 8 - 8 taking away 50% of the time we are able to style, needing to provide the specific hours down to 15 minutes. Chose to stay chose to go, we don't really care, but for those of you that decide quick enough we'll give you $1,000, but wait not too many or we will cap it. So quit first to guarantee your money. Oh wait been here 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or more, we don't care you will no longer be recognized for your achievements. Wait let's commit for 20 hours, wait we can't promise you that, but please schedule your life and family obligations around it in case we change our mind at the last minute. Wait the system's down can you change your required and committed hours to later in the week. Oh can't be that flexible, we'll we don't really need you anyways, that's what algorithms are for. You take and take and give NOTHING in return. No recognition, no opportunity to express options or express ourselves. We have been silenced, but you claim Stylists are the heart of the company. The heart of the company is now your bottom line. Forget the personalization and who helped you achieve the success your wallets are benefiting from today.

Pros

• I work with genuinely kind, supportive people who are always willing to jump in and help or give feedback to help me grow. • I've had the opportunity to partner with a variety of teams and build meaningful relationships across the business even from a remote setting. • Flexible work environment that allowed for a healthy work-life balance. • I've always felt trusted to manage my workload and bring new ideas to recruiting processes. • Mission-driven culture with employees who truly cared about helping clients feel confident in their personal style. • Great place to develop recruiting skills while working alongside talented and thoughtful teammates.

Cons

• Stakeholder alignment could take time when multiple teams were involved in hiring decisions. • I honestly don't have many cons to share. I can genuinely see myself working at Stitch Fix for many years to come. It's a company that truly values its people, and I'm proud to say I work here when people ask. The culture, mission, and people make it a place where I feel supported, challenged, and excited to contribute every day.

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
