1. Most colleagues are relatively 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 direction, and the boss's moods are unpredictable
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand agency, but in reality it operates with a very traditional industry mindset (a family-business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion prospects)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is of no use. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive uninformed senior management (an intern who worked at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year can come here and hold 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 rather than help, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts)
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be exchanged for money in the same month; they can only be converted into compensatory leave (whether you can actually take that leave is another matter)
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the skill of shamelessly haggling prices. You can haggle so aggressively that you become infamous in the industry, drain your partner vendors dry, and drive them to the point of blacklisting the company.
8. Because of the nature of the work, if any products you come into contact with are damaged or soiled, you have to pay out of pocket to compensate the company (you can look up the average price of one of the products the company represents)
9. The flow of people in and out of the company's promotional sales events is complicated. There was once a case where a thief stole several hundred thousand dollars' worth of merchandise at a sale, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail price (wouldn't it be exciting to come to work and end up having to pay over a hundred thousand dollars?)
10. The entire company is an industry outsider in fashion (sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas all appear laughable to industry professionals). If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, welcome aboard.
