I just had the struts, motor mounts and CV axle replaced. Now the car rides are awful. Shouldn't they have done a front-end alignment?

So, does the car ride poorly or are you having vibration issues, can I ask where you had the work done? If they used inferior parts, especially the struts, the car would ride rough. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response. Yes, when replacing the struts and alignment should be done.
