Pros

Great health care benefits; Decent pay

Cons

QVC tries to be a good place to work in terms of the overall company values, pay and benefits. However, they will work you to the bone. My experience there was a very negative one- I left each day feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I also was forced to take work home many nights and weekends just to try to keep up. Their idea of employee recognition is "you're tough- I know you can do it". Translation being- keep working because nothing's going to change. Nothing did change in the several years I was there, in fact, they just added more work. I made the decision to leave when I realized they would never change. I don't recommend this company. They don't practice what they preach- and they do a whole lot of preaching about 'work/ life balance' and company values. I regret working at QVC.

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.
