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 frequently 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-business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion prospects).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is of little use. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who worked at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year 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 be a disadvantage, not an advantage, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect ideas).
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 duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop outstanding skills at shamelessly haggling prices. You can cut prices to the point of becoming notorious in the industry, drain your vendors dry, and bargain until you reach the bare bones, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of the nature of the work, 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 a single item among the brands the company represents).
9. The company's promotional sales events attract all kinds of people. There was once a theft at a sale event in which goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, and the company required all sales associates working that shift to compensate for the full retail price (wouldn't it be exciting to come in for a shift and end up owing over a hundred thousand?).
10. The entire company is made up of fashion-industry outsiders. In the eyes of industry professionals, every aspect—sales, marketing, public relations, and so on—is laughable. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, come on in.
