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 has a very traditional industry mindset (a family-run business, closed-off, with an unclear promotion system)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is useless. You would be better off learning how to flatter people and deceive senior executives who do not understand the business (an intern who stayed less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and hold a position at the manager 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 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 the leave is another matter)
7. If your job requires contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can become notorious throughout the industry, squeeze your partner vendors dry, bargain them down to the bone, and end up on their blacklist.
8. Because of work-related responsibilities, 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 a single agency product)
9. The company's promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a case where a thief stole several hundred thousand dollars' worth of goods at a sale, 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 end up owing over a hundred thousand dollars?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. In areas such as sales, marketing, and public relations, industry professionals find everything about it laughable. If you want to become one of the people they look down on, welcome aboard.
