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 direction, and the boss's mood is unpredictable
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand agency, but in reality it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion opportunities)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; having strong abilities is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter and deceive senior executives who do not understand the business (an intern who worked for less than a year at a well-known advertising agency 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 ideas)
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be exchanged for money during the same month; they can only be taken as 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 the shameless skill of aggressively haggling prices. You can become notorious throughout the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, haggle them down to the bone, and end up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related handling, if any of the products you come into contact with 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 people. There was once a case where a thief stole merchandise worth hundreds of thousands at a sale, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail value (Coming in for a shift only to pay over a hundred thousand—isn't that exciting?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. In areas such as sales, marketing, and public relations, industry professionals find the company laughable. If you want to become one of the people everyone looks down on, come on in.
