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 agency, but in reality it has a very traditional industry mindset (a family-business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion prospects)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter 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 managerial-level position)
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 help 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 a whole other story)
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an exceptional ability to haggle shamelessly. You can become notorious throughout the industry for squeezing vendors dry, cutting prices to the bone, and getting blacklisted.
8. If any products you handle in the course of your work are damaged or soiled, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the approximate price of an average item from the brands the company represents)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a case where a thief stole merchandise worth several hundred thousand at a sale, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail price (Coming to work only to be stuck paying over a hundred thousand—isn't that exciting?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion world (sales, marketing, public relations, and so on); industry professionals find all aspects of it laughable. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome aboard.
