Pros

-you can work remotely -Flexible schedule -Easy job

Cons

-serious issues with lack of opportunities-I mean ZERO -leadership is constantly talking about "transparency" but you will be the last to know about any company updates and most definitely will not be invited to any events unless they are the quarterly stylists specific events (they don't even include you in their lavish holiday party but throw a really sad and scrappy one for stylists only on a weekday night); -you can't even see your exact metric numbers even though they can see them (they say they can't, yet can tell you on the backend that they see improvement coming soon) -serious issues with inventory-they will tell you that "we have the best success when inventory is low"-this is impossible because if a client asks for NO tank tops and there is literally nothing but tank tops in our inventory, you have no choice but to send items they point blank do not want. -metrics are measured on a rolling 4 week average so if you choose to flex down a week and inventory is low and see a hit on your metrics, it will stick with you for weeks and then they will put you on a performance plan to review what you did 4 weeks ago. -If you are on a plan, you will see how you get zero value from any tips they try to give you- it is all fluff -there is hardly any training after on-boarding so tenured stylists are stuck with styling the same way even when processes have changed -don't expect to be incorporated in anything from HQ or the offices if you are a Stylist-treated like second class citizens while they have continuous team building activities and perks for HQ employees. -there is no motivation to attend any of the events because they barely pay you for them (zero pay for travel even though they require driving sometimes a few hours away) and the activities are condescending and even childish enough to remind you of elementary school.

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.
