QVC – “QVC is in desperate need of a shakeout.”

Pros

Good benefits - decent salary - 401K - working with wonderful vendors and guests.

Cons

Management incompetence. Favoritism. Self-promoting people who don't ever look at the big picture, they just want to worry about themselves and gain favor and more people under them.

Advice to Senior Management

Look at who is really contributing to the business - and who is simply trying to get themselves promoted. Look at the number of directors and vice presidents who have been added since Rob Cadigan left the company. Every new leader comes in fresh and seems to be convinced that the QVC lifers know what they're doing. The lifers then find it very easy to convince senior management that a reorg is necessary and they ALWAYS work it in such a way that they create VP and director level positions allowing them to promote each other and their friends. And when senior management sees the true need for a reorg in a certain area they never consult those who will be most affected, but rather listen to the lifers who have their own agenda (promotions and more staff under them).
