A typical day at Anne Fontaine, they have you SCARED about numbers and your job, you are told over and over if you don't sell enough you will be FIRED.
On top of all that you are alone most of the time, working with clients running to the back checking e-mails, you can't go to the bathroom or lunch on time, sometimes you could get stuck working the whole day alone 9:30am to 9:00pm if someone doesn't show up and believe me it happens all the time.
Management is HORRIBLE from DM to STORE MANAGER, store manager never comes in on time so you are alone with no lunch break, when she finally shows up she take a two hour lunch while you still haven't taken a break.
DM comes once a month and you are TORTURED and talked about as if your not even in the room, and it don't matter if your selling well or you could be top sells person they treat you with no value. And your job is always on the line with this company.
They make you feel like the harder you work the worst they treat you.
Please never try to talk to them about your bad treatment because you will be BLACK BALLED, just leave.

It's definitely corporate. Everyone is politically polite and costumers can be a lot at times. It's a boutique so its never busy and it's not a hard job at all. Upper-level management can be rude, and expect you to walk on water with little to no help or guidance besides passive aggressive micromanagement. Its hard to be productive in sales when your expected to do things that should be handled on much higher levels with no help besides a half done Band-Aid with, no research. The company is run poorly by either someone stuck in there ways or someone who has no idea what their doing. Usually you wouldn't feel it so much at the bottom but the company is just ran so terribly, decisions don't trickle down, they pour.   If you don't like fashion or retail you'll hate the job. You'll really need a reason to keep any motivation for a company that gives the vibe it doesn't care about anything but money and reputation. (Ironically it doesn't care about quality, customer satisfaction, or efficiency) They make a really easy job stressful.  

I have been working here for the last 5 years and I'm really happy with how my career as progressed.  I’m currently holding a leadership role and I feel deeply honored that Management has trusted me this far.

The company is already 28 years in the fashion world but still continues to churn out fabulous and timely pieces.  I love it that the company gives me a lot of material (“news”) to work with – a solid foundation for my campaign planning and execution.  

I have an enjoyable and a productive relationship with our Marketing and Merchandising teams.  I like interacting with our followers on social media as they give us a lot of insights on how we can improve our product line.  I like the travel component of the job, too.

It’s different when you enjoy the work that you do.  It won’t feel like work at all.  Good vibes overall. 

I have only been working here for 3 years but have already been promoted twice.  I guess this is what’s commendable about the company.  They really take care of their employees, especially the high-performing ones.  Management is transparent and open to new ideas, which is why I think this company will never stop growing.  At 29 years, it has amassed a loyal base of customers and continue to attract new ones.  
The items are really appealing – a combination of classic staples as well as new introductions that add excitement to the line.  The stores are really attractive too, with interiors befitting of the brand.  Fantastic teamwork among the store staff too, with a bit of healthy competition on the side.   It’s delightful to work in a place like this.  
Over all, a really good place to build a sales career in retail fashion.  

The level of cleaning expected of you, is out of control- they expect big numbers...while also expecting you to be stock person, cleaning person, community representative, accountant, recruiter, visual director, etc..get ready to fold some shirts...like all day 
You could be the best salesperson in the company, and if you don’t gossip with your  25 year old managers they willl get rid of you 
You are watched on camera all day - and called when you take breaks, extreme micro management 
**They do pay well- and commission program is fair (probably to compensate for your multiple roles) . The clients are very nice, which is sad because they are being duped into high priced poorly made clothing 
They also run a charity to save trees, but waste tons of paper, and plastic ...still confused over that ..EPA would cry. 
They lie to clients about the clothes being made in France, they are not

Setting any real expectations for this company or its management only leads to deep disappointment. There is absolutely no training provided at all. You are expected to figure everything out on your own while being met with hostility from the manager, who ignores questions and shows zero patience for mistakes or learning. If by some rare chance you survive probation, the expectations suddenly shift to acting like a leader, guiding new employees, and teaching others how to do the job, despite never being properly trained or supported yourself. The contradiction is exhausting and completely unreasonable. It is impossible to understand what management is thinking or what they expect from staff when even basic leadership is missing. By this stage, stress and exhaustion build to the point where mental health begins to deteriorate significantly.



Working at Anne-Fontaine has been an immersion in the art of high-end fashion, where every piece reflects a commitment to quality and elegance. The brand is renowned for its timeless designs and meticulous attention to detail, making it a favorite among those who appreciate sophisticated style. The work environment is one of creativity and precision, demanding an eye for beauty and perfection. Collaborating with a team of talented designers and artisans, we strive to maintain the brand's legacy of excellence. The challenges of keeping up with fashion trends while staying true to the brand’s classic aesthetic are ever-present but contribute to the rewarding experience of creating beautiful garments that empower women. 

I have had the privilege to work alongside wonderful colleagues in an uplifting environment. Not only are my coworkers pleasant, but they are genuinely delightful to collaborate with on a day-to-day basis. The environment here not only supports but also accelerates both my personal and professional growth, pushing me to deliver my best. The spirit of teamwork permeates through every level, and I'm never in short supply of help or guidance from my colleagues. It's evident that the company is wholly committed to its employees' development, offering continuous training focused on networking, skill enhancement, and effective communication.

Maybe not in all stores, but Las Vegas store has very bad people management . The pressure of making a monthly money goal is extreme and your workhours can change on a dime. Your hours being cut when you do not reach your financial goal. One Asst. Manager does all the extra work while the other one gets best hours. There is no place to sit for lunch unless there is a dressing room empty. No sink to even wash your hands or a employee bathroom. You have to use the public bathroom upstairs.
Good things , you get twice a year beautiful uniform pieces. You can purchase at great discounts and health insurance is ok..I would not recommend working there . The turnover of employees in that store is large.
