Pros

Employee discounts and pretty building

Cons

The best thing most employees will say about this company are the discounts. That in itself is disturbing. Management at QVC spends a majority of it's time self promoting. If you are talented, confident, and assertive you will quickly be labeled cocky or too aggressive in this organization and your efforts will be sabotaged. Upper management has found a clever way to self promote, it's called "reorganization". This is a chronic occurrence that always produces promotions out of the managers that initiate it. The hard working professionals and SMEs are never promoted. It's mind boggling to witness. It's also common to have managers in areas they know nothing about. I don't understand how the company is financially successful based upon it's internal business practices. If you chose to work at this company take heed to the reviews. Particularly those of the Studio Park and Founders Park locations. Save yourself much aggravation and frustration of looking for a new job a year later. This is not am empowering environment for an up and coming talent. They dishonestly claim to appreciate your abilities while sabotaging your growth with resentful labeling. The environment is like one big high school looking to haze the new kid. The worker bees that have been with the company for a while are scared to speak up about the atrocities that upper management poses on them and others. I've seen and heard racial comments, watched people be denied the opportunity to interview for promotions, people have their direct reports and authority stripped because another manager desired that opportunity, and employees not allowed to speak or participate in meetings. The HR team is nothing more than a prop that is completely out of touch offering no support or solutions to employees. I can't stress enough to do your research before working here. Those that claim to love working for the company are likely in the click.

Pros

Only pros - wfh and you get a nice discount

Cons

Everything else. Management/corporate have unrealistic kpis. You can only use the rr during your SCHEDULED break. You have to offer a sale to EVERY CALLER even if they are already upset. You can NOT hang up even if the customer is screaming/offending you. My manager once said I should’ve been more patient. Mind you the customer was already using foul language and belittling me. I POLITELY asked the customer to please refrain from using that kind of language. It continued and I told her I would have to release the call. Also you stop getting a raise after 2 years. You cap at $17/hr.
