Unprofessional owners and a toxic work environment.

Pros

I genuinely cannot think of any positives.

Cons

As previous reviews have stated, this company offers very low wages and benefits. Which might be less of a bother if the environment was positive, efficient, and offered good work-life balance. Unfortunately, this was easily the most toxic work environment I’ve ever had the displeasure of working in. The owners gossip about employees amongst their staff, belittle and insult staff directly, and are very obvious about “picking favorites” and offering special treatment to employees who come from wealthy families or are conventionally attractive and have a large following on Instagram. Praise is virtually never given (unless you are one of the aforementioned “favorites”) and criticism is endless, even if you come in every day on time and do your job well. You will be loaded with as much work as you could possibly handle, you will not be paid accordingly for it, and you will be relentlessly gaslit by the owners as you do it. All positive reviews listed here were either written by Chicago or California employees that do not have to deal with the owners directly, or by Arizona employees that wrote them because they were asked to by the owners themselves. Meaning - they have seen all this criticism, but chose to ignore it. This is why their employee turnover is extremely high. Honestly, if you’re looking for a job I’d recommend looking elsewhere. You’d be better off working for a large corporate retail business.

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.

Look for a job elsewhere.

Pros

Seems like it is a great job in the fashion world.

Cons

Stressful job, what is presented as the job in the interview changes drastically once you work there over time. Other past negative reviews on Glassdoor have been taken down so job seekers can not get the magnitude of the problems at this company. Also, owners have interns post positive reviews. Owners are also hard to please, treat employees poorly once you are there for awhile and they choose favorites. Lots of turn-over with many unhappy employees that are ready to leave. Employee benefits are meager no matter how owners "spin" the benefits.

Brooke...I am sorry your time at Alixandra Collections did not turn out as you would have liked. Glassdoor is a format for employees to post their thoughts and feelings. Listings are not "taken down" or manipulated. It seems as if this wasn't the Company for you, which is totally ok. We wish you the best moving forward.

Over worked- underpaid

Pros

locations are in nice areas.

Cons

Nepotism across the board. It truly is a joke, don't even consider a part time there. You will be over worked and way underpaid. The owners are a married couple who do not communicate effectively with staff and only treat relatives and their favorite people with respect. They want people who are professional, educated to work there... to have you stand out on the sales floor working the register & taping boxes in the back. There is no culture & no advancement opportunities.

I appreciate your perspective. You are correct that professional, educated and in fact hard- working and self starters perform best on our Team Associates with those attributes are given additional responsibility and the corresponding compensation increases. I am sorry your experience with us did not mirror this. We wish you the best moving forward in your career.
