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 direction, 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-minded, with an unclear promotion system)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive uninformed senior management (an intern who spent less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and take on a managerial-level position)
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 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 story)
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the skill of shamelessly haggling prices. You can negotiate vendors down so aggressively that you become notorious in the industry, drain them dry, cut prices to the bone, and end 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 out of pocket for compensation (you can look up the average price of a single authorized-distribution product)
9. The company’s promotional sale events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once an incident in which a thief stole merchandise worth several hundred thousand during a sale, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the goods at full price (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for coming in to work sounds thrilling, right?)
10. The entire company is made up of fashion-industry outsiders (sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas all appear laughable to industry professionals). If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, come join us.
