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 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-off culture, and an unclear promotion system).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; having ability is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior executives who do not understand the business (an intern who worked at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year 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, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts).
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into money in 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 shameless skill of aggressively bargaining, to the point of becoming notorious in the industry, squeezing cooperating vendors dry and driving prices down to the bone until you are blacklisted.
8. Because of the work, if any products you handle are damaged or soiled, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of a single agency product).
9. The company’s promotional 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 coming in to work sounds exciting, right?).
10. The entire company is an outsider in the fashion industry. In every area, including sales, marketing, and public relations, industry professionals find it laughable. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome aboard.
