Pros

Decent benefits, nice discount. Can work from home, if you're manager doesn't discriminate against you (yes, that does happen!)

Cons

Promotes based on seniority and politics. If you are lazy and have no career ambition, but you are a yes person who will never leave, you will get a promotion. Was berated by inferior junior management who talked the talk, but frequently couldn't understand a) how to manage or b) how to really be financially successful. Management s filled with cliques and mean girls! You'll never ave a life if your own.

Pros

My peers at QVC make my days more enjoyable. Been able to foster some great relationships with colleagues. Vacation time is pretty average, but taking vacation is difficult to do because of the workload demands.

Cons

Senior Management struggles with setting forth clear direction. The culture at QVC is one of constant chaos, because the direction/priorities from above is always changing. There are perks to working for larger companies, but this place is so big, they tend to get in their own way. Be prepared to wait awhile for career growth opportunities. There's little to no succession planning.

Pros

Great benefits. Good pay. Good resume builder. Interesting day to day work (very different from traditional retail). Nice Location.

Cons

Middle management is promoted on tenure and not ability to do the job. The majority of middle management has zero people skills. The environment is very difficult in terms of trusting others. Fellow employees and middle management throw each other under the bus for advancement and this culture is encouraged. If constructive criticism is given the individual is considered "negative" and only positive feedback is acceptable; very "pleasantville" despite this most employees in this area are miserable but stay for the benefits and because they have not worked anywhere but QVC.
