1. Most colleagues are fairly easy to get along with
2. The office location is very convenient in terms of 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 distributor, but in reality, it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-run business structure, closed-minded, 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 people and deceive uninformed senior management (an intern who did not last a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and take on a management-level position)
4. The company has extremely little familiarity 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 count against you, 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 another matter)
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with suppliers, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can become notorious throughout the industry for squeezing suppliers dry and cutting prices to the bone, leaving yourself blacklisted.
8. Because of the nature 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 one of the company’s distributed products)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There has been an incident in which a thief stole several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of merchandise at a sale, 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 showing up to work sounds exciting, right?)
10. The entire company is a fashion-industry outsider (in sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas, industry professionals find it all very laughable). If you want to become one of the people others look down on, welcome aboard.
