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 very traditional industry thinking (a family-business system, closed-off, with unclear promotion policies)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; being capable is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior executives 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 managerial-level position)
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 you rather than help, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect ideas)
5. The salary is pitifully low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into money in the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take that leave is another mystery)
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the skill of shamelessly cutting prices. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, and cut prices to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of the nature of the work, if any products you handle 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 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 (Wouldn’t it be exciting to come in for a shift and have to pay over a hundred thousand?)
10. The entire company is an outsider 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 they look down on, welcome aboard.
