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 changes its decisions from one day to the next, and the boss’s moods are unpredictable
2. On the surface, it is a fashion brand distributor, but in reality it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-minded, with an unclear promotion system)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior executives who do not understand the work (an intern who did not last a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and obtain a position at the managerial level)
4. The company is extremely unfamiliar with the industry and operates entirely according to the boss’s preferences and arrogance (if you genuinely want to understand the fashion industry, joining this company will only hurt you and will not benefit you, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts)
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into money during the same month; they can only be taken as compensatory leave (whether you can actually take the leave is another matter)
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, and haggle them down to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related reasons, if any of the products you handle are damaged or stained, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of a single item from the brands the company distributes)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a promotional sale in which goods worth several hundred thousand were stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to reimburse the full retail price (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for coming to work is quite thrilling, isn’t it?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. In every area—including sales, marketing, and public relations—industry professionals find the company laughable. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, welcome aboard.
