1. Most colleagues are fairly easy to get along with
2. The office location is very convenient in terms of 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-off, with unclear promotion policies)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; competence is useless. You might as well learn 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 take on a managerial-level position)
4. Extremely unfamiliar with the industry, operating 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 add value, 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 the leave is a whole other mystery)
7. If your job requires you to contact and coordinate with suppliers, congratulations—you will develop the shameless skill of aggressively haggling prices. You can bargain until you become infamous in the industry, squeeze your suppliers dry, and drive them into the ground, ending up on their blacklist.
8. Because of the job, if any products you come into contact with 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 was once an incident in which thieves 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 (Having to pay over a hundred thousand just for showing up to work—exciting, right?)
10. The entire company is an outsider in the fashion industry (in sales, marketing, public relations, and other areas, industry professionals find it laughable). If you want to become one of the people the industry looks down on, welcome aboard.
