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 a very traditional industry mindset (a family-business structure, closed off, with unclear promotion opportunities).
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior management who do not understand the business (an intern who spent less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and be given 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 you, because everything you learn here consists of incorrect concepts).
5. The salary is pitifully 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 another story).
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly, cutting prices so aggressively that you become notorious in the industry, drain your partner vendors dry, and cut prices down to the bone until you are blacklisted.
8. Because 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 has been an incident where a thief stole several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of merchandise at a sale, and the company required all sales associates on duty to compensate for the full retail value (coming in for a shift and having to pay over a hundred thousand dollars would be pretty exciting, right?).
10. The entire company is an outsider in the fashion world (sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas are all laughable in the eyes of industry professionals). If you want to become one of the people they look down on, you are welcome to join.
