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 has very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-off, with an unclear promotion system)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is of no use. You might as well learn how to flatter and deceive senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who stayed 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 and will not benefit you, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts)
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 the leave is a mystery)
7. If your duties require you to contact and coordinate with vendors, congratulations—you will hone an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, drain your partner vendors dry, and reduce prices to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related reasons, 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 one of the agency’s products)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of visitors. There was once a theft at a sale in which goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate the full retail price (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for coming to work sounds exciting, doesn’t it?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion world. In areas such as sales, marketing, and public relations, industry professionals find everything about it hilarious. If you want to become one of the people they look down on, welcome aboard.
