Pros

As a part-time stylist, the pros are the ability to work from home, enjoying a flexible schedule, being independent, etc. Also, if you've never worked in fashion, you'll think it's cool to call yourself a Stylist.

Cons

Pay is $15/hr which translates to $3.75 per client styled. You get paid less than $4 to style someone whether they spend $20 or $200, whether you are good at styling clients or not. There are long stretches of time (months) with very little new inventory. It is depressing to send great clients sub-par items. The good stylists are not rewarded, so high performers leave. Supervisors use this fake rah-rah cheerleader style of communication to try to motivate stylists. It's obviously not genuine.

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
