Workplace reviews and discussion: 惇聚國際股份有限公司

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 operates with a very traditional industry mindset (a family-run business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion policies).

3. People are hired based on personal preferences; having actual ability is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and fool senior management who do not understand the business. (An intern who lasted less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and take on a position at the managerial level.)

4. The company has extremely little familiarity 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 converted into pay during the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave. (Whether you can actually take that leave is another story.)

7. If your role requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an outstanding ability to haggle shamelessly. You can cut prices so aggressively that you become notorious in the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, and drive them to the point of being blacklisted.

8. Because of work-related contact with products, if any goods are damaged or stained, 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 promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of visitors. There was once a theft at a sale event in which merchandise worth hundreds of thousands was stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail value. (Coming in for a shift and having to pay over a hundred thousand—isn’t that exciting?)

10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. Its sales, marketing, public relations, and other functions are all laughable in the eyes of industry professionals. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, welcome aboard.
