Pros

A high level of creativity. The company is tapping in-house creativity on a regular basis. The CEO is determined to improve corporate culture and has created a senior team more in alignment with his views. Our President of US Commerce is forming small pockets of creativity throughout the organization. Our Benefits department and SVP of HR are focused on attracting and retaining top talent. One approach they're taking is through a more flexible workplace including e-commuting, flextime and job share. Part-time professionals are becoming more commonplace. Attention is being given to the workplace to provide a comfortable and satisfying work environment. A CEO who regularly communicates his thoughts to the entire organization and takes the time to report on what's working and what isn't. A new willingness to look at legacy policies and procedures and make changes where needed.

Cons

Too many promotions where the rank and file are left scratching their heads. Getting so bogged down in processes that it takes forever to get an idea launched. Too many layers of bureaucracy and too many people afraid to take a calculated risk. Getting information on comparable compensation is on you. Getting jobs re-classed is a ridiculously arduous process. Senior Managers who do not model the behaviors of the CEO and Commerce President. Taking too long to get back to prospective hires. We lose good candidates because of our slowness, our often non-competitive salaries, and our short-sighted vacation policies. A talent management program that is ridiculously complex.

Pros

good benefits, comfortable chairs in call center, not in major urban area

Cons

feel too often like cog in a wheel--we are told to give feedback from customers but too often it feels as if it is going into a big black hole...people mentioned that Mike George had started this 'direct chat with customer' thing on web but abandoned it after one posting. It looks like we don't want to hear what they say. Sometimes we can solve things but too often the customer is right when they say we take their money quickly but when there's a problem we make it difficult to get their money back.

Pros

The benefits are great, and the people that you get to interact with on a daily basis.

Cons

Management in QVC are pretty selfish; those lower in the company get pretty bad treatment. They talk of budget cutbacks and yet Supervisors are driving around in expensive cars, sometimes it seems as though they have an expensive car to match what they are wearing that day. The parking lot looks like a mercedes dealership! Even the heads in security, who seem to only walk around like a little gang always eating and drinking coffee all day are driving in with great looking vehicles. In the last 7 years I have never witnessed an actual fire drill untill two years ago! and when someone gets hurt, security only stand around the injured with there radios blaring. Can you believe they didn't have necessary items in the first aid kit so they did nothing?! Not to mention that Mike George writes emails to everyone trying to be on the same level with his employees and yet talk of vacations and giant christmas trees for home, it is an insult when people are worried of losing their jobs all the time.
