Pros

Having a remote role as a stylist was nice, and the employee discount was nice, as well. Styling can be fun when inventory is good.

Cons

Company changed the scheduling policies, which made the flexibility of working there impossible for many. The schedule flexibility was one of the draws, so removing that made the position less appealing, and in my case, impossible to do, as the timeframe they allowed you to work in conflicted with my full time job. I had a great team lead, but I've heard that there is a lot of toxic positivity in other areas, which results in stylists not getting the support they need. Inventory has been terrible for years, which makes it hard to style and makes clients upset, which they often take out on stylists. The new CEO seems to want to phase out stylists and go to more of an algorithm, so be cautious. Stylists are clearly disposable to Stitch Fix, so it doesn't feel like a very solid role at this time in terms of stability. Watched them cut all of California's stylists on a dime during the pandemic, and then continue to cut a huge portion of stylists with their scheduling changes, also during the pandemic. Was a great place to work when I started, but gradually rolled in changes that made it clear they're not invested in their workforce.

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
