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 frequently changes its decisions; 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 prospects).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is of little use. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who stayed 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 count against you, not benefit you, because everything you learn here consists of misconceptions).
5. The salary is pathetically low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into money within the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take the leave is another matter).
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an outstanding ability to shamelessly haggle prices. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, drain your cooperating vendors dry, and reduce prices to the bone, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related contact, if any merchandise is damaged or dirty, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the approximate average price of a single agency product).
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. A thief once stole merchandise worth several hundred thousand from a sale event, 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 coming to work is quite an experience, isn’t it?).
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. Its sales, marketing, public relations, and other functions are all laughable to industry professionals. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, welcome aboard.
