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-run business structure, closed-minded, with unclear promotion opportunities)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter and deceive senior executives 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 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, not help, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts)
5. The salary is ridiculously 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 skill of shamelessly haggling prices. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, and reduce prices to the bone, landing on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related reasons, if any products you handle are damaged or stained, 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 goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate the full retail value (Coming in for a shift and having to pay over a hundred thousand—isn’t that thrilling?)
10. The entire company is an outsider to the fashion industry (sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas are all laughable in the eyes of industry professionals). If you want to become one of the people they look down on, come join us.
