Pros

QVC has excellent benefits. Also, there are tons of opportunities for training for advancement purposes. There are so many areas to be employed in, if you are interested in exploring, all it takes is asking the question and most managers would be thrilled to arrange a Walk A Mile. There is also extensive talent recognition with quarterly awards.

Cons

Though one of QVC's talking points is work-life balance, that's kind of hard when you are dealing with a live show, 24/7. Also, many of the higher-ups have now been there many years and are almost ready/able to retire early since they got in on the bottom floor. It shows. They are really just biding their time, trying to drink the kook-aid and not rustle any feathers and ruin the good thing they have going. It' disappointing, because these people use to be very creative and open to ideas. Now, they are complacent and just go with the flow.

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.
