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 food options nearby
4. Parking is convenient; there is a paid parking lot behind the company
1. The company frequently changes its decisions, and the boss’s mood is unpredictable
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand agency, but in reality it has a very traditional industry mindset (a family-owned business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion prospects)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; 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 worked 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 you rather than help you, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts)
5. The pay 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 the skill of shamelessly cutting prices. You can become notorious in the industry by squeezing cooperative vendors dry and cutting prices to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related handling, if any products you come into contact with are damaged or soiled, you must pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of a single agency product)
9. The company’s special-sale 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 for the full retail value (Coming to work and having to pay over a hundred thousand—isn’t that exciting?)
10. The entire company is an outsider in the fashion world. In every aspect—sales, marketing, public relations, and so on—it is laughable in the eyes of industry professionals. If you want to become one of the people they look down on, come join us.
