Pros
Stylists receive a 40% employee discount on one profile in their household. Completely remote job.
Cons
Where do I begin? The upper levels of leadership here are the main issue. They make quick, irrational, important decisions that affect everyone in the company with no regards to how their decisions actually affect their employees. Any criticism you provide will fall on deaf ears if it actually reaches anyone of importance at all. Stylists have been silenced in their communication with each other and upper level leadership over the years and leads (managers) take all the brunt for those very poor decisions made by leadership. Stitch Fix will pull the rug out from under you when you aren’t looking and follow up by sending a company-wide email on how excited they are for the “change” and “growth” the company is headed towards that just lost you your job. I’ve worked for them for 2 years and have watched them insultingly fire all of their California stylists because their minimum wage increased and they became too expensive of a burden to pay. I watched the company give us major cuts to our hours and thus, our paychecks, during the holidays because of their own lack of ability to advertise and draw in customers to our service and unwillingness to make up for their own shortcomings—all while the former CEO was named a billionaire! I’ve watched my job slowly be replaced by a computer-generated system that chooses clothes for the clients instead of me and does a horrible job at it, too (sweaters in June? Are you kidding me?). Leadership can’t be bothered to provide a decent inventory for the stylists, who then take all the blame for poor Fix assortments when they were choosing between horribly matched options for their clients. Sorry management, is it a surprise to you that summer is here yet again? It comes around this time every year! A week ago, we received communication to comply to their new scheduling expectations or resign. Their new scheduling expectations are near-impossible to work around as a teacher, and I can’t imagine how mothers with children at home could possibly make it work, either. They have taken away all flexibility from the job, which was the main draw to it in the first place. I was forced by this circumstance to resign, and I am no longer eligible for unemployment to make up the loss of income to pay off my astronomical teacher student loans, so I have no idea how I will pay my bills now. The leadership at Stitch Fix does not care about you, your well-being, your financial livelihood, or your opinions at Stitch Fix. They only care about their own corporate greed. This would NEVER happen to a unionized workforce and the stylists who can stomach to stay employed to this company seriously need to unionize, now. We watched them stab the Cali stylists in the back, they did it to us, and they will do it to you eventually. It is inevitable. I have never felt more expendable as an employee of any company or organization. Good riddance.
