Pros

Having a remote role as a stylist was nice, and the employee discount was nice, as well. Styling can be fun when inventory is good.

Cons

Company changed the scheduling policies, which made the flexibility of working there impossible for many. The schedule flexibility was one of the draws, so removing that made the position less appealing, and in my case, impossible to do, as the timeframe they allowed you to work in conflicted with my full time job. I had a great team lead, but I've heard that there is a lot of toxic positivity in other areas, which results in stylists not getting the support they need. Inventory has been terrible for years, which makes it hard to style and makes clients upset, which they often take out on stylists. The new CEO seems to want to phase out stylists and go to more of an algorithm, so be cautious. Stylists are clearly disposable to Stitch Fix, so it doesn't feel like a very solid role at this time in terms of stability. Watched them cut all of California's stylists on a dime during the pandemic, and then continue to cut a huge portion of stylists with their scheduling changes, also during the pandemic. Was a great place to work when I started, but gradually rolled in changes that made it clear they're not invested in their workforce.

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.
