QVC UK Reviews

I worked at QVC UK

Pros – The People, culture its fun. People even drink together.
Depending on department access to great brands

Cons – They do not develop the best talent
You have to fight for promotions and training.
stuck on policy and procedure and not getting results in a timely manner for for change to happen

Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention to your staff. Its the entry level roles supporting upper management making great things happen.

Pros – The people you get to meet and work with are fantastic, not all of course but the majority of people are courtious toward one and other and help each other when they can.
I think its all about the freindships and humour on the shop floor that make people enjoy working at QVC.

Cons – The downsides are pretty basic really and it stems from a few years ago when QVC management decided to make QVC a great place to work, it already was, the old adage "dont fix what is'nt broken" springs to mind but someone up there wanted to take credit for it.
Then we where approached by management and told they where looking at the possibility of introducing a bonus system based on employees performances which would replace the present pdr system of a percentage payrise, we where told there would be a vote to see what the general consensus might be, this did not happen it was implemented, we where then told that the following year team leaders and management would follow suit, which also didnt happen.
The thing is you see team leaders and managers continue to get payrises each year while the workforce continue to struggle, we just keep looking over our shoulder and seeing the governments minimum earnings level getting closer.
Lets make this a great place to work, THE STAFF ALREADY HAVE.

Advice to Senior Management – Cant give them any advice, they wouldnt listen.
