Pros

- There really were none at the time I left. They started with such a great vision and appreciation for their team members, the quality of their production and sincerity of their mission. That is not the case anymore. - The pay was good when we were able to work the hours that we hired to do but I guarantee every stylist works off the clock double time just to meet quota so it comes out to less than minimum wage.

Cons

- Don't provide that adequate resources for people to do the very thing for which they are in business...actual merchandise. -Don't care about anything other than quotas and numbers. This isn't fair to the thousands of people losing their styling fee because their boxes are filled sub par clothing. -When stylists reach out to their leads or internal resources about lack of merchandise (literally, we would have ZERO tops some days) the standard response would be "get creative" simply to push something out the door..Stylists don't want to "get creative" because the Buying and Merchandising teams won't do their jobs. They want to get creative in order to get their clients excited about.

Pros

The people you actually work with are actually fantastic humans and brilliant engineers. They're eager to learn, collaborate, and help no matter what level they are or team they're on. You can make real friends here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business just hasn't been as stable as it used to be. Leadership is always changing something and there isn't as much transparency about those decisions as there once was.

Pros

• I work with genuinely kind, supportive people who are always willing to jump in and help or give feedback to help me grow. • I've had the opportunity to partner with a variety of teams and build meaningful relationships across the business even from a remote setting. • Flexible work environment that allowed for a healthy work-life balance. • I've always felt trusted to manage my workload and bring new ideas to recruiting processes. • Mission-driven culture with employees who truly cared about helping clients feel confident in their personal style. • Great place to develop recruiting skills while working alongside talented and thoughtful teammates.

Cons

• Stakeholder alignment could take time when multiple teams were involved in hiring decisions. • I honestly don't have many cons to share. I can genuinely see myself working at Stitch Fix for many years to come. It's a company that truly values its people, and I'm proud to say I work here when people ask. The culture, mission, and people make it a place where I feel supported, challenged, and excited to contribute every day.
