Pros

There used to be a lot of pros. Now the only pro is ability to manage schedule in a very flexible way. They are also very vocal about diversity and inclusion.

Cons

I'm mad, so hang in there. They have cracked down in the last year (after another wave of lay-offs of course), regarding metrics and quotas. They are HEAVILY quota driven now. You can tell that they are feeling the pain of a failing company and trying to push people out by setting unrealistic expectations. I worked here for YEARS, and only in the last year has it been horrendous. Inventory is redundant and tight, so clients get pissed, then they tell stylists to take accountability for it, and punish your metrics. People are in a recession, and not paying $70 for a damn shirt (which is $8 at Ross btw). My previous lead was SO sweet and dedicated to her job and willing to help with ways to better yourself (she was laid off while on maternity leave), the one I have now is a micro-manager on a power trip and gives probably close to zero helpful advice.

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
