Work at Home for HSN & Limited Time Coupon for Bag Trends
Since I did that fantastic post last month about Calla Handbags on HSN I’ve noticed a serious spike in traffic for work at home HSN and other various searches that look a lot like that.
I do a lot of posts about working from home, because I do. I did one phenomenal post about Bag Trends because the lovely host of Bag Trends was hosting an HSN show about the Calla Handbag.
One plus one equals people finding my blog for information on HSN and working from home.
Well, I’ll keep you in suspense no longer. Go get hired with West Corp. if you want all the amazing customer service work at home jobs. They have less upselling than many other companies and if you can pass the tests they give you, you will find yourself in customer service heaven. One of my friends even had a salaried position with West in the work at home agent division for one of the companies they worked with instead of being paid per minute while she was on the phone.
I never got to that level because my customer service skills are, to say the least, lacking.
It used to be hugely hush-hush who West did business with. Perhaps it still is but HSN is listed as a case study on the work at home agent page so I’m guessing it’s not going to break anyone’s privacy policy to say West works with HSN. They also work for at least one other shopping channel. There is also a home improvement store as well as a pizza place under their belts last time I checked.
The Pros of Working With West:
- I always got paid on time and the correct amount.
- There was always something available.
- You got real coaching for your calls, not just complained to by salaried employees.
- They had meetings and listened to feedback.
The Cons of Working With West:
- It’s customer service. I HATE customer service, so I’m biased here.
- You have to have a phone with no caller id or other special features…AND you have to answer by the second ring.
- If the “good” shifts (higher paid hours) are not available you have to take a lower-paying one sometimes.
- You can be fired if you don’t have total silence in your home – I’m not saying it’s a bad rule, I think it’s necessary for West to keep a good business reputation. But it does make it a poor choice for moms with little ones.
- Sometimes good paying shifts are at two in the morning, sometimes they’re at the crack of dawn. It’s kind of unpredictable.
- New agents get crappier shifts.
So I hope this clears up some confusion as well as helps those searchers looking to work from home for HSN a place to begin. It was a horrible job for me and my skillset, but I know a lot of people that worked there very happily and made really good money. It’s not 100% reliable income, because people can swamp a day to work and you might not get what you wanted, but you know, it’s a small price to pay to have a call center job and do it from the comfort of your office, living room, kitchen, or wherever you have a quiet spot.
