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

Fun, fast-paced culture Always a lot going on Freedom to make valuable changes to processes within buying office Cool to learn about production; opportunities to sit with line producer Learn how the buying process works; sit in on vendor meetings Learn how item selection process works; sit in on promotional item meetings with senior management

Cons

Rather low pay As an MBA, hard to justfiy going back--difficult to know what options might be available for me there since a lot of their hires are straight out of college Unclear career path outside of buying and planning

Pros

They had a cart that went around and gave out free refreshments. It is a huge place and it kind of felt like a large university.

Cons

It's way out in West Chester, so you are looking at an hour commute each way.
