1. Most colleagues are fairly easy to get along with.
2. The office is in a very convenient location for transportation.
3. There are quite a few food options nearby.
4. Parking is convenient; there is a paid parking lot behind the company.
1. The company constantly changes its decisions, and the boss’s mood is unpredictable.
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand distributor, but in reality it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-mindedness, and an unclear promotion system).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is of little use. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior managers who do not understand the work (an intern who stayed for less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and take a position at the managerial level).
4. The company is extremely unfamiliar with the industry and operates entirely according to the boss’s personal preferences and arrogance (if you genuinely want to understand the fashion industry, joining this company will only hurt rather than help, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect ideas).
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into money during the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take the leave is another matter).
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop excellent skills at shamelessly haggling over prices. You can become notorious throughout the industry for squeezing partner vendors dry, cutting prices to the bone, and getting blacklisted.
8. Because of work-related responsibilities, if any products you handle are damaged or stained, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of the company’s distributed products).
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a sale in which goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to reimburse the full retail price (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for showing up to work—exciting, isn’t it?).
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. In areas such as sales, marketing, and public relations, industry professionals find the company laughable. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome.
