Pros

Company has the potential to be awesome with the right people managers. They aren't there yet.

Cons

They pay you $15 an hour when they charge clients a $20 styling fee. Doesn't add up to me. They require you to style 4 clients per hour. Stitch Fix customers most likely do not know that they only get 15 minutes of a "stylist's" time for the money. Not a customer-friendly model. Stitch Fix management team religiously monitors the # of styles per hour you achieve. You'll feel more like a factory worker than a stylist. Whatever Stitch Fix executive decided that rule is not very intelligent and should move on before all the underlings quit. No flexibility on the minimum of 15 hours of styling per week. They say the 15 hour per week minimum is for their clients but it's really for their bottom line. If it's "part-time" work, let your people pick their hours and stop running what comes off as a dictatorship. Very low inventory for stylists to work with. Makes your low-paying job incredibly difficult and not very much fun.

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
