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 a very traditional industry mindset (a family-business structure, closed-off, with unclear promotion prospects)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter and deceive senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who worked at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year can come here and take on 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 count against you, not benefit you, because everything you learn here consists of mistaken ideas)
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be exchanged for money during the same month; they can only be converted into compensatory leave (whether you can actually take that leave is another mystery)
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an exceptional ability to haggle shamelessly. You can become notorious throughout the industry, squeeze your vendors dry, bargain them down to the bone, and end up on their blacklist.
8. Because of the nature of the work, if any products you come into contact with are damaged or dirty, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of one of the agency’s products)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a promotional sale in which merchandise worth several hundred thousand was stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail value (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for showing up to work sounds exciting, right?)
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 it all very laughable. If you want to become one of the people they look down on, welcome aboard.
