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代理商, but in reality it has very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-minded, with unclear promotion prospects).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and fool senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who stayed at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year can come here and take a position at manager 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 offer no benefit, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect ideas).
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be exchanged for money in the same month; they can only be converted into compensatory leave (whether you can actually take the leave is a mystery).
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop expert-level shameless price-cutting skills. You can cut prices so aggressively that you become notorious in the industry, drain your partner vendors dry, cut them to the bone, and end up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related contact with products, if any goods are damaged or stained, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of the company’s distributed products to see how much a single item costs).
9. The company’s special-sale events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a sale in which goods worth hundreds of thousands were stolen, and the company required all sales clerks on duty to reimburse the full retail value (wouldn’t it be exciting to come to work and end up paying more than NT$100,000?).
10. The entire company is an outsider to the fashion world. Its sales, marketing, public relations, and other functions are all laughable in the eyes of industry professionals. If you want to become part of a group that is looked down on, welcome aboard.
