Pros

work from home is the only thing

Cons

1. When you start they say you can only work 15 hours a week and for me, that was fine given that I had a full-time job. I went back to school and once I was finished, I asked for more hours to help financially support myself. One of my metrics was down and my manager told me that I wouldn't be able to get more hours until that metric improved. She mentioned that was the only metric that mattered. Once I improved that metric another manager mentioned a few other rules that hadn't been discussed with me when I originally requested more hours. This felt a little discriminatory (yes that's a harsh word, but can't think of anything else.) because they had every opportunity to mention ALL expectations and after 4 weeks, then decided to mention other requirements. It felt like there was some other reason as to why I wouldn't get more hours. She hesitated and then blurted out another metric. I am wondering if it's because I am not as actively involved like other stylists, but with the hundreds they already have, I can't be the only one. I was only asking for 3-5 more hours just so I can help pay my bills and they weren't willing to help me out. Picked up two more jobs to help pay the bills. If you aren't their favorite, they don't care about you. The products are awful. As a men's stylist, I am still seeing flannel and long sleeve pullovers as the top choices to send. Shorts are shorts from the mid 2000's. The idea of accessories i adding $75 brass bracelets. It seems HQ Is not putting any research into their user and buying products for men that Dillards and Macy's rejected. Leadership expects you to work around the bad product. It's definitely a quantity over quality. They need some serious shakeups in HQ, but I don't see that happening. The stock has basically been a problem from the beginning and the stylists get the blame from customers and management so we are essentially in a lose-lose situation. Stitch Fix clearly doesn't understand their customers.

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.
