Pros

Work from home is good Pay is reasonable, plus pension scheme

Cons

Prepare to be micromanaged within an inch of your life. If your metrics drop, it’s always you, the stylist, at fault, never mind the cheap crap clothes or the poor inventory. Prepare to have three emails a day telling you where you’re going wrong, from people you don’t know and have never spoken to before. Prepare to have unreasonable daily targets and be made to feel like garbage when you don’t meet them. Every minute of your shift has to be spent styling. You need a cup of tea? Trip to the loo? You’ve got to clock out for that, darling! Imagine if they made you do that at an on-site job! Prepare for toxic positivity. They bang on about diversity and wanting people to feel “seen” and “heard” (vom) but they don’t want any feedback about how to make the job less stressful. They don’t want to hear that you’re struggling. They’ll tell you how it’s your fault. Prepare for the goalposts to be moved constantly. They’re always fiddling about with their systems and ways of measuring things. They call it adaptability, I say they’re incompetent. Prepare for the system to be down, or slow, or buggy on a weekly basis. Prepare for it to still be your fault if you don’t reach your styling targets.

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
