It's terrible—how could there be any advantages?
1. The salary and benefits look pretty good, but the company isn't stupid either. What you have to give up (time, life, dreams) far exceeds this money. Put plainly, the money the company gives you is what you get in exchange for your time (your life).
2. If you are really, really interested in convenience stores and want to apply for this position (selling your soul), I strongly advise you not to work as a management trainee in the Changzhong district. The higher-ups (the regional HR specialist, regional consultant, and regional manager) are all pretty terrible—especially the regional HR specialist, who is supposedly the management trainees' babysitter but is actually... a management trainee killer! If you don't encounter a good store manager early on, you're pretty much done (90% of them are terrible store managers who can't teach).
3. In this industry, it is actually a case of bad money driving out good money. Those who get promoted aren't the ones with the best abilities; instead, you need to become a believer in Uni-President, making the higher-ups feel that you are loyal like a dog. Even when being scolded, you can't bark back. Many management trainees eventually develop mental illnesses (anxiety disorders).
4. Conclusion: If you feel that you don't know what direction to take in the future, this is actually a place where you can hone yourself and force out your potential (your submissive nature).
