Pros

Remote, make your schedule between 8-8

Cons

The #1 thing thousands, (yes you read that right- THOUSANDS of stylists this company was built upon have quit) is the toxic workplace. They do not care one bit about their worker bee stylists. I have heard countless experiences of other stylists and leads that have been driven to such insane stress they’ve had to be medicated with anti anxiety or depression meds. Most managers are forced by their superiors to give the stylists absolutely zero answers to their questions, fake positivity, and instead of real solutions intense micromanagement if you ask or offer any sort of negative feedback. You don’t have the tools to do your job, and when drilled by superiors why your metrics aren’t 100%, any excuse about extremely poor inventory is a twist into “respond with your plan to drive your success and improve your metrics by the end of the day.” When the algorithm is picking the pieces for the client and it comes up with 8 belts and 2 shorts for a 70 year old client in Minnesota, they slap your name on it and you have to deal with the disappointment and “fix” it with little to no inventory to support what your clients still hasn’t. There is no inventory to support a client right fix 90% of the time, yet you are held to impossible efficiency metrics and you are told to direct the client to the direct buy option on the website which is ultimately what the company will become. They have you train the algorithm for part of your shift, which is a slap in the face as we all know it will take over soon. Save your sanity, your home life, your mental health, and don’t work for a company that couldn’t care less about you and will replace you in a second if you step one toe out of line.

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.
