1. Most colleagues are fairly easy to get along with.
2. The office location is very convenient in terms of 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 moods are unpredictable.
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand agency, but in reality, it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-business system, closed-minded, with an unclear promotion system).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; being capable is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive 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 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 money in the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take the leave is another story).
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can bargain so aggressively that you become notorious in the industry, drain the cooperating vendors dry, and reduce them to the point of being blacklisted.
8. Because of work-related responsibilities, 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 item from the brands they represent).
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a sale in which merchandise worth several hundred thousand was stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to pay the full retail price in compensation (having to pay over a hundred thousand just for coming to work sounds thrilling, right?).
10. The entire company is an outsider in the fashion industry. Its sales, marketing, public relations, and other operations are all laughable in the eyes of industry professionals. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome aboard.
