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 constantly changes its decisions, and the boss’s mood is unpredictable.
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand agency, but in reality it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-mindedness, and an unclear promotion system).
3. Hiring and assigning people is based on personal preferences. Having real ability is useless; you might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive uninformed senior management. (An intern who stayed less than a year at a well-known advertising agency 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 count against you, not benefit you, 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 that leave is another matter.)
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the ability to haggle shamelessly, cutting prices so aggressively that you become notorious in the industry, drain your vendors dry, and reduce prices to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of the nature of the work, if any products you come into contact with are damaged or soiled, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket. (You can look up the average price of one of the agency’s products.)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a sale in which merchandise worth hundreds of thousands was stolen, and the company required all sales staff on duty to compensate the full retail value. (Wouldn’t it be exciting to come to work and end up paying over a hundred thousand?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. Its sales, marketing, public relations, and other functions are all laughable in the eyes of industry professionals. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, come join us.
