Good role for awhile - Anonymous employee Stitch Fix Employee Review

- The work gets extremely monotonous, hence why I said it's only enjoyable for the first few months. It's read a profile, style, write a note, press send, repeat. Read a profile, style, write a note, press send, repeat. I get the sense that this contributed to high employee turnover. - Begin to crave human interaction with remote work. - I worked here for a year, and the entire time inventory was always an issue. Obviously if you run a marketing campaign featuring key items, you should expect that many, many customers were going to request those items. I hated to let customers down, and finding something similar often wasn't an option. There were too many "unicorn items." - Beyond client requests, inventory was an issue just as is-- sometimes there were just 2 items available for a person, and with further research you already knew they'd hate both of them. Having little available to choose from, yet feeling pressure of wanting to make your metrics and please your client made it challenging. This also made it hard to get in all your intended hours, as you don't want to style when there's nothing available. - Taking time off: It's a part time job, you obviously don't earn or expect PTO, and when you'd request more than the 1 week per year they'd make it difficult. I had more time off with my full-time job, where I actually did earn PTO. - No incentive for high performing stylists. Should get performance pay. I outperformed almost everyone on my team and made the same amount. - Very few opportunities for advancement. - TOO many e-mails sent each week, got overwhelming.
