Cons
Almost every single thing else about this job is a con. This job has seriously slowed down my progress in life in more ways than I can count. When I came onto the team as a Full Time employee, I was told I would have a minimum of 35 hours weekly, clear guidance and mentorship from management, monthly opportunities to make commission, and plenty of opportunities for growth... Let me prepare you for what you REALLY receive as a full time stylist with this company... - the company will put out misleading ads with YOUR ROLE as the stylist being the main perk of the service, but not only will you be among some of the lowest paid staff members at the company, even though they use you, the "dedicated stylist" as the main gimmick (it's hard to remain dedicated when you're underpaid and overworked), but all of those cute clothes that they use in the ads to draw the customers in? You'll barely have actual access to those clothes when styling clients due to a tiered system that locks certain clothes as options until clients are very far into their subscription, and weekly inventory issues that leave you with outdated, non season appropriate clothing to send to clients (of course these clients are going to blame you for the issue and think you're just a bad stylist) - when you do experience these constant inventory issues, the "solutions" that management will provide you with will be either to wait around all day for more inventory to possibly come in( often times, it doesn't, and this affects work-life balance), shift your hours to the weekend, or simply clock out and miss out on hours on your paycheck - when the company's systems fail and make it almost impossible to do your job, you'll be gaslit as if things are your fault and they're doing you a favor by having grace for you not getting as much done - Due to their dwindling customer base, your hours can be cut down to 30 (& sometimes less) on an almost weekly basis for months and months on end, making it hard for you to plan financially - If you ask a genuine question in public company forums about issues that affect your productivity and your ability to do your job effectively, prepare for an email from management that your "tone was off" ... I even know some coworkers who have gotten written up for asking certain questions - If you don't ask management questions and pretend like everything is great and nothing's going wrong on a day to day basis, you get rewarded and praised in meetings for your "teamwork" lol - Management will pressure you to hit high sales goals in order to "qualify for commission", even though the company can't afford to pay you to work a 40 hour work week during most weeks due to their low customer base. This is a way to constantly keep you on your toes working harder for an elusive goal that most of the team doesn't even end up achieving on a regular basis, and to shift blame and distract from the fact that they rarely ever give you the proper resources to effectively try to achieve commission goals in the first place - Speaking of commission, you'll receive very vague and shady looking "reports" that are supposed to show you how you're performing toward possibly hitting commission, but they're often inaccurate and it can take the company weeks to "correct" this, very questionable - A lot of the actual clothing that you're selling for the company will be low quality and overpriced, so this is a complaint you'll constantly hear from your clientele - You have a heavy workload each day from styling clients to editing boxes that clients don't like, to communicating with Customer service and keeping up with the weekly system issues, and the company keeps increasing the workload little by little without substantially increasing the stylist's pay -The company expects you to have so much understanding when their systems fail, but if you perform even a little bit under their expectation, regardless of circumstances, you will be reprimanded Overall, this job is simply not worth the stress. After everything I've listed, most of my checks were under $1000 to deal with all of this as a "Full Time" employee The concept of this job is a good idea, but right now, it's being very poorly executed
