1. Most colleagues are fairly easy to get along with.
2. The office location is very convenient for transportation.
3. There are quite a few dining options nearby.
4. Parking is convenient; there is a paid parking lot behind the company.
1. The company changes its decisions constantly, and the boss’s mood is unpredictable.
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand agent; in reality, it has a very traditional industry mindset (a family-owned business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion policies).
3. Hiring is based on personal preferences. Having actual ability is useless; you might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who stayed at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year can come here and take on 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 you rather than help you, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts).
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into pay 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 job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can become notorious in the industry for draining partner vendors dry, cutting prices to the bone, and getting yourself blacklisted.
8. Because of work-related reasons, 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 a single item among the agency’s products).
9. The company’s special-sale events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a sale event in which goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail value (having to pay over a hundred thousand just for showing up to work sounds exciting, right?).
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 ridiculous. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome.
