Pros

Decent benefits and a pleasant campus. Some good people but you have to sell your soul to survive

Cons

Mike George destroyed this once great company. Running the company like the McKinsey consultant he once was he looked for every opportunity to reduce cost when he realized he had no ability to grow the business. Why, because of his insecurity he let all that knew what worked go, or pushed them out What's left?, marginal folks and newbies that spend half they day avoiding HR who look for any cracks to push them out the door. Forced rankings, made up poor reviews, you name it. If you are getting old or if you are hourly forget it, you have a target on your back and they will make life miserable for you. Values, hardly...they never practiced them even though they blew smoke up everyone's behind that they lived the QVC values as if this was special place to work. Any remnants of this were clearly exposed recently when MIkey (hiding behind the skirts and his lackeys) announced most administrative jobs were going to Poland. Sheesh Mike maybe you could give back some of your multi-million package you parlayed with those barely human spores at the parent company so that folks could put their kids through school or cover their health care. Hell no, they'll find another job, especially if their in their 50's, Wawa and Home Depot loves these guys.... My advice don't get involved with these creeps, it's a cesspool.

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.
