Pros

They have a great benefits program if you need all that stuff. Domestic partners get benefits too, and the package includes mental health services (which you will need), legal help, insurance discounts, and product discounts off items sold by QVC. Technology they use is state of the art. You can build a decent resume here. It is one of the few TV channels in the area for broadcast work that is not affiliated with the major networks. They are very flexible and allow a good work life balance. Everybody knows QVC so you are a star just for working there where ever you go. They will pay for college but that doesn't translate to better pay or position necessarily.

Cons

Reviews and promotions are political. The salary ranges for different ranks overlap by 20K and eventually you'll hit a ceiling. There are a few heroes that get credit while most don't. They recently changed all the senior management out for newer younger people so there are changes underfoot. Last year they started layoffs despite being hugely profitable still. Although unrelated to working there, the quality of the products they sell can be horrible. Name brands are OK but some of the stuff is ghastly. The building is monitored everywhere by cameras and hidden devices. They frequently move entire departments around and reorganize endlessly. Even the simple tasks require committee meetings and project managers. When they say people are are greatest asset they don't mean you they are referring to customers. Outsourcing has begun so practice your Hindu.

Pros

The People. The buzz of live retail. The building.

Cons

Bullying by Senior Buyers and Senior Category Merchandisers is often overlooked making QVC a very unhealthy and stressful place to work. Buyers are expected to be available 24/7 and lack of responsibility from other departments impacts buyers workload often leading to stress and no work life balance Flexible working is in place and usually is used freely be Seniors however can be frowned upon by them when you actually request it for yourself which leaves you feeling unable freely ask for it again
