Pros

Remote, make your schedule between 8-8

Cons

The #1 thing thousands, (yes you read that right- THOUSANDS of stylists this company was built upon have quit) is the toxic workplace. They do not care one bit about their worker bee stylists. I have heard countless experiences of other stylists and leads that have been driven to such insane stress they’ve had to be medicated with anti anxiety or depression meds. Most managers are forced by their superiors to give the stylists absolutely zero answers to their questions, fake positivity, and instead of real solutions intense micromanagement if you ask or offer any sort of negative feedback. You don’t have the tools to do your job, and when drilled by superiors why your metrics aren’t 100%, any excuse about extremely poor inventory is a twist into “respond with your plan to drive your success and improve your metrics by the end of the day.” When the algorithm is picking the pieces for the client and it comes up with 8 belts and 2 shorts for a 70 year old client in Minnesota, they slap your name on it and you have to deal with the disappointment and “fix” it with little to no inventory to support what your clients still hasn’t. There is no inventory to support a client right fix 90% of the time, yet you are held to impossible efficiency metrics and you are told to direct the client to the direct buy option on the website which is ultimately what the company will become. They have you train the algorithm for part of your shift, which is a slap in the face as we all know it will take over soon. Save your sanity, your home life, your mental health, and don’t work for a company that couldn’t care less about you and will replace you in a second if you step one toe out of line.

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
