Anne Fontaine Employee Reviews for Store Manager

What do you like about working at Anne Fontaine?

"I love styling my clients, working with visual presentation and merchandising, as well as training my team"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Make sure you do a lot of research on the company before-hand. Have a passion for the designer and if you know French, all the better (make sure you tell them that, you will get paid more). Make sure you like a slower paced environment and enjoy working by yourself."

What don't you like about working at Anne Fontaine?

"Within 3 weeks of being hired, my immediate boss left the company. A few days later, my Regional was fired. Lots of change happening in a short period of time. Not as stable of a company as I was told. Very slow days.. when I don't have anything operational to do and clients aren't walking in or making appointments, it definitely drags. I feel like my ability to run a store is halted here."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would get to know my employees, it's a smaller company compared to other retailers so it wouldn't be hard to do. Hire a consultant to come on and help the business.. something needs to change with the way business is trending. Hire someone to help with real estate; close stores that haven't been performing and relocate. Have a proper training program for all employees at store level. Hire a Human Resource team.. there currently is no HR."
