Workplace reviews and discussion: 惇聚國際股份有限公司

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 distributor, but in reality it operates with very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-mindedness, and an unclear promotion system).

3. People are hired based on personal preferences, so ability is of little use. You would be better off learning how to flatter and deceive uninformed senior management (an intern who worked at a well-known advertising agency for less than a year can come here and take 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, working here will only hurt you rather than help you, because everything you learn will be based on incorrect ideas).

5. The salary is pitifully low.

6. Overtime hours cannot be exchanged for money in 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 you to contact and coordinate with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the shameless skill of cutting prices. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, haggle them down to the bone, and end up on a blacklist.

8. Because of the nature of the work, if any products you handle are damaged or soiled, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of a single agency-distributed product).

9. The company’s special sales events attract a complicated mix of visitors. There was once a theft at a sale in which goods worth hundreds of thousands were stolen, and the company required all sales associates on duty to reimburse the full price. (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for coming in to work is pretty exciting, isn’t it?)

10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. In the eyes of industry professionals, its sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas are all quite laughable. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, welcome aboard.
