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 distributor, but in reality it has a very traditional industry mindset (a family-run business structure, closed-off, 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 the uninformed senior management (an intern who spent less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and take on 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 rather than 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 in the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take that leave is a whole other story)
7. If your duties require you to contact and coordinate with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the skill of shamelessly haggling prices. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, drain your vendors dry, and haggle them down to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Due to the nature of the work, if any products you come into contact with are damaged or dirty, you have to pay out of pocket for the loss (you can look up the average price of one of the agency's products)
9. The flow of people at the company's promotional sales events is complicated. There was once a case where a thief stole several hundred thousand dollars' worth of goods at a sale, and the company required all saleswomen on duty to reimburse the full retail value (Coming in for a shift and having to pay over a hundred thousand dollars is pretty exciting, right?)
10. The entire company is an outsider to the fashion industry (sales, marketing, public relations, and so on); from the perspective of industry professionals, everything it does is laughable. If you want to become one of the people they look down on, come on in.
