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 has very traditional industry thinking (a family-business structure, closed-minded, with unclear promotion opportunities)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive the uninformed senior management (an intern who spent 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 hurt you rather than help, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts)
5. The pay is pathetically low.
6. Overtime hours cannot be converted into money during the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take that leave is a whole other mystery)
7. If your job requires you to contact and coordinate with vendors, congratulations—you will hone the shameless skill of aggressively cutting prices. You can become notorious throughout the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, and cut prices to the bone, until you end up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related responsibilities, 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 product)
9. The people coming in and out of the company's promotional sales events are a mixed crowd. There has been an incident where a thief stole several hundred thousand dollars' worth of goods at a sale, and the company required all the sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail value (Coming to work and having to pay over a hundred thousand dollars is pretty thrilling, isn't it?)
10. The entire company is an outsider in the fashion industry (sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas all look ridiculous to industry professionals). If you want to become one of the people they look down on, welcome.
