Pros

Working in the retail industry and getting to know others in the community.

Cons

I spent just enough time working for this company to quickly realize the toxic nature of their (the husband and wife owners) actions. Women are over worked, under paid and talked down to on the daily. Best part of the job is that you get a discount, not worth it.

It is unfortunate to read your dissatisfaction with our Company. As a small, local boutique, we provide an environment for associates to learn and grow while contributing to the success of the business. We provide the opportunity to interact with a very talented group of individuals that are always willing to support each other. Sometimes there are individuals that don’t match with this particular culture which is totally fine. There are plenty of companies available for all types of people and we hope you have found a better fit. As a former associate, you know that both owners have an “open door policy”. Both of us work each and every day of the week, every day of the year and every associate has our phone numbers. We are always available to discuss struggles or obstacles that any associate is facing. We actually appreciate these open and honest discussions, so we wish you had chosen to bring these feelings forward while you were still here to see if we could provide a resolution.

Pros

Alixandra Collections is extremely enjoyable to work for, especially if you love fashion. I always look forward to coming into work every week. You are always recognized for the hard work you put in and the successful results you get. This was my first business of fashion position and I would not change it for anything. The owners and team are flexible with the time you can dedicate to working, as with me, I simultaneously am pursuing a masters degree, while they still keep me on the team, with the need of less hours to maintain my intense school schedule. The team is friendly and supportive of you and extends the positive attitudes of the small business mentality. Growth of the team has seemed top of mind to the Alixandra Collections team. Highly recommend if you like to be challenged and work in business of fashion, around a corporate team that is supportive of you.

Cons

The pay is understandably less as a small business rather than other corporate businesses.

Pros

It can be fun to work here but expectations are very high for the compensation received.

Cons

As a store manager, you are basically a glorified sales associate that merchandises. Pay is low. Benefits are not competitive with high costs. Owners make emotional decisions. And performance reviews and consistent communication is avoided. Beware...
