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 agency, but in reality it has a very traditional industry mindset (family-owned, closed-off, with an unclear promotion system)
3. People are hired based on personal preferences; having ability 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 company can come here and take on 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 pay 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 mystery)
7. If your duties require you to contact and coordinate with vendors, congratulations—you will develop the shameless skill of cutting prices, becoming notorious throughout the industry for squeezing cooperating vendors dry and cutting prices to the bone, until you end up on their blacklist.
8. Because of the nature of the work, if any merchandise you handle is damaged or dirty, you have to pay compensation out of your own pocket (you can look up the average price of one item of the agency's products)
9. The company’s promotional sales events attract a complicated mix of people. There was once a theft at a promotional sale in which merchandise worth several hundred thousand was stolen, and the company required all sales staff on duty to compensate for the full retail price (wouldn’t it be exciting 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 world. In the eyes of industry professionals, every aspect—sales, marketing, public relations, and so on—is laughable. If you want to become one of the people others look down on, you are welcome to join.
