Pros

Work from home; flexibility in schedule; pretty good discount on clothing, but with as little as we are paid, it's not worth it I've been working with SF for over a year now, and I truly enjoy styling; however, they've started taking the creativity out of the process for the "marriage of arts & science."

Cons

They constantly implement changes all at once and expect us to keep our metrics fabulous at the same time and to be enthusiastic about our creativity being taken away in favor of speeding up how many Fixes we can pump out. It's obvious these changes are not being made for the stylists (or even the clients, to be honest) even though they try so hard to make it appear that way. If anyone provides constructive feedback, they become agitated and either silence you or say you're going against the company's "positive" culture. In general, the company culture is really fake, and we don't feel heard. Pay is minimal. I really need to keep this job since I'm currently in graduate school, but I'm not sure if these changes will allow that. None of the leads or "higher-ups" seem to have a distinct personality. They are literally all the same and have the same responses for everything.

Pros

You are able to work from home

Cons

Very unmotivating work environment. You get a couple of small raisies when you first start but then they cut off raises and expect you to perform at 100% efficiency 100% of the time. There is no motivation to do so. You are basically chained to you desk while you style because everything you do is timed. They provide no tools or stipend for the items you need in order to work from home. No internet stipend, nothing towards your computer, I never even got a pencil after being there 5 years. You have little no interaction with other people. The inventory is poor. Management is always turning over. I think I had about 8 different managers over my 5 years there. They mico manage you. You would think styling would be a creative job but not here. You don't even get to write your own note to a client anymore. AI writes it and you pretty much have to go that route bc you have about 8 minutes to style a client to stay within your efficiency goals. Overall its great that you can work from home but the job is extremely unmotivating and not rewarding. There is no room for advancement. DO yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This is not the company or culture you want.
