1. Most colleagues are reasonably 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 changes its decisions from day to day, 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-minded, with unclear promotion policies).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; having real ability is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior managers who do not understand the work (an intern who worked at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year can come here and take a position at a 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, 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 pay during the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take the leave is another mystery).
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the shameless skill of aggressively cutting prices. You can become notorious in the industry by squeezing cooperative vendors dry and cutting prices to the bone, until you are blacklisted.
8. Because of the work, if any products you handle are damaged or dirty, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of a single agency product).
9. The company's sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a sales event in which goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, 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 coming to work—isn't that exciting?).
10. The entire company is an outsider to the fashion world (sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas all look laughable to industry professionals). If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome.
