Sad to write this - Senior Stylist Stitch Fix Employee Review

This may be long - longer than a note. What intrigued me about Stitch Fix was being able to help clients around the country build their confidence and branch outside of their comfort zone with their style. Along with that, the company offered flexibility as a benefit - even stating that on their website as one of the reasons as to "why you'll love working at Stitch Fix". I sit here today, after working for the company for over a literal handful of years, and find myself asking - why I am I still here if none of this exists anymore. A company either prioritizes their employees, clients or stockholders. Sadly over the past few years, it has become clear that Stitch Fix's top priority is the stockholders however they will pose it to not be. If it was the clients - we would have what the client's are asking for, providing them with the styles and clothes that they are are seeking, fun and exciting pieces, something refreshing. If it was the employees - we would be treating everyone from the warehouse to stylists to people at HQ with respect, holding them in high regard, with integrity, valuing them and investing in them. If it is the stockholders - we would be caring about the bottom line, the profit and low costs to run the company. And that is exactly what has happened. It is only a matter of time before the clients realize they are getting the same flower or striped printed top, in a different color, each month. Or how the company posts such beautiful ads but somehow, the client never sees these pieces. It is only a matter of time before the employees realize how mistreated they are, how things are constantly changing, hurting the role, without notice and how they are taken for granted. Once you lose the employees and the clients - you lose the company. As a stylist, there are a few things that are shocking. The lack of inventory but the told to make it work, take on the challenge feedback I get. I cannot do my job if I do not have the materials. It is starting to hurt my heart to send what I am to clients but it is all we have. The other shocking thing is when I was told there are no raises. The "we hired you for your expertise" feedback I was given. Wow. Yes, I have worked in fashion for many years and have been a stylists before Stitch Fix however, the company is constantly adding and changing the role, which is exciting, however they compensate their employees. It leaves me speechless.
