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, with 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 distributor, but in reality it has a very traditional industry mindset (a family-run business, closed-off, with unclear promotion prospects)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; ability is useless. You might as well learn how to flatter people and deceive senior executives who do not understand the business (an intern who worked for less than a year at a well-known advertising agency can come here and reach a managerial-level position)
4. It 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 pay in the same month; they can only be exchanged for compensatory leave (whether you can actually take that leave is another mystery)
7. If your duties require contacting and coordinating with vendors, congratulations—you will develop an impressive ability to haggle shamelessly. You can bargain until you become notorious in the industry, drain your partner vendors dry, cut prices to the bone, and get blacklisted.
8. Because of work-related circumstances, if any of the 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 authorized product)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. 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 compensate for the full listed value (Wouldn’t it be thrilling to come to work and end up owing more than a hundred thousand?)
10. The entire company is made up of outsiders to the fashion industry. In the eyes of industry professionals, everything—from sales and marketing to public relations—is laughable. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, welcome aboard.
