Stitch Fix Reviews

Pros

Schedule flexibility, creative outlet, work from home, meaningful relationships, supportive community, amazing people. I still can't believe this job exists and I get paid to do what I do because it's just so amazing. I don't ever see myself quitting this job, whatever other things I may have going on the side.

Cons

Limited inventory can get challenging. But what's a job without challenges? Little time to catch up on non-styling things.

Advice to Management

Better inventory planning. Separate reading feedback time from reading communications time. Reading feedback time can change with hours styled; there should be at least an hour allocated for reading e-mails and communications.

Pros

The company has a great culture.

Cons

I am very happy, there are no cons.

Pros

-Flexible schedule - set your own hours *not your own location* please see recent benefit reduction note in cons -Be creative - Build client relationships -Employee discount (40%)

Cons

-SF metrics become the only indicator of success when styling (not true, lots of ways to be successful when styling) -Benefits have been snatched away from part-time stylists since being hired 2+ years. These benefits include the way sick time is accumulated - it was reduced to half or less than what I and thousands of other stylists were hired on. This was done with zero discussion and no prior notice other than a 'post'...

Advice to Management

Company growth shouldn't mean the disappearance of values this company was founded in

Pros

>More flexible than most part-time jobs that don't require education or experience. >Generally your direct boss (styling team lead) will be a reasonably nice person to work for. >40% discount on merchandise >Generally able to work independently >It can be a fun job

Cons

>nearly zero room for growth >increasingly less flexibility as company grows >HQ people are rude, disrespectful and condescending to stylists >dismal pay rate with almost no chance for meaningful raises, despite hard work, high performance, and loyalty >isolated work life - almost zero interaction with co-workers >disingenuous company 'culture' >continued inventory issues that make styling within...

Pros

During my time at Stitch Fix so far, I have witnessed how truly devoted this company is to its positive internal culture, even for remote workers. Remote stylists are carefully considered and there is a distinct effort made by the crew in HQ to make sure stylists needs are met.

Cons

Some of the tech involved can get a little tricky, but nothing that can't be managed with the help of a team lead.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work!

Pros

Remote position and creative freedom

Cons

Management was very cold, strict and choosy with employees' work

Advice to Management

Don't punish employees for one mistake. Instead, provide constructive criticism.

Pros

Flexible work schedule Work from home Discount on Fixes Good first time job or job coming back into workforce after children

Cons

No room to grow besides being a lead No full-time offered anymore for stylists Sick time accrual is very minimum No paid time off Annual increases are given based on your zip code, not on performance or region. Metrics goals unrealistic, especially when low inventory When there is low inventory they allow you to flex your hours down but if you need to work hours for pay your option is to just "get creative" with...

Advice to Management

Have teams all live within 50 miles of each other so there are more options to get together. Offer pay for traveling to HQ for events. Get rid of ridiculous policy of pay increases based on zip code, pay everyone in region the same if not going to pay based on merit and performance. Actually listen to stylists and make them feel valued and not replaceable

Pros

Successful, on the move. Very friendly staff. Free snacks

Cons

not very structured, behind on technology
