1. Very cold air conditioning

2. Efficient meetings—two regular business meetings every week; the marketing team also holds meetings whenever necessary

3. There are beautiful stores outside

4. There are no snacks, so you won’t gain weight, because the boss is Christian (so there are no worship rituals)

5. Health management was implemented (during the pandemic)

6. The employees are all nice and easy to get along with

1. The boss keeps cutting the marketing budget, then expects you to accomplish $100 worth of work with $1

2. The job responsibilities are not explained during the interview; only after you start work are you told that you have to meet sales targets and travel for work

3. They say you only become eligible for involuntary termination after working for six months (after checking online, there is apparently no such rule)

4. They force you to accept shapewear worth tens of thousands of dollars. They call it a gift, but if you resign, you have to pay the money back

5. The food near the office is all very expensive

6. Every time there is an exhibition, everyone in the marketing team has to attend

7. They even dictate the means of transportation for business trips

8. You have to pay printing and business-trip expenses upfront, then submit the receipts to accounting for reimbursement and review at the end of the month

9. Overtime requires a supervisor’s approval, but the time-clock system only records voluntary overtime (and you don’t get paid for overtime either)

10. The boss makes you do things you are not good at. At first, they call it a challenge; if you cannot do it or do it poorly, they scold you and put you under observation

11. Once you are put under observation, you have to fill out a performance report every month

12. Even if you meet your performance goals, they still dismiss you using various excuses. They call it a personnel change, but bluntly, they just do not want you there anymore (for involuntary termination, you apparently have to have worked for six months before you can receive the relevant benefits—ridiculous, isn’t it?)

13. They are always saying they want to compete with rival companies, but they keep cutting the budget

14. You end up doing a lot of futile, unproductive work
