Pros

Prospecting WWE employee be warned, the WWE will wreck your career. You will be attracted to join the WWE for the 20% premium to avg pay for your role, the ability to work across live entertainment, and a lofty title. I write this review for all ages but primarily for the millennials. Also, this is not a female-friendly work space.

Cons

What they will not tell you; annual employee turnover since 2012 has been 40%, FACT. That one thing should make any level employee rethink it. You may put that aside believing that you are joining a big name brand company and that will add value to your future resume-STOP. Every HR/Headhunter already knows about the WWE. Nothing in your potential as an employee will appreciate from the work you contribute to the WWE. You need to protect yourself and career potential, work at the liquor store across the street before the WWE.

Pros

-Competitive salary -Solid benefits package, including 401(k) match, tiered health plans, year-end time off, and maternity leave

Cons

-The organization has a disproportionately high number of decision-makers relative to individual contributors (approximately 2–3 senior leaders per one worker). -Compensation growth has slowed since the TKO merger. Fun benefit perks have been canceled after the merger. -Expect frequent late hours and weekend work. -Senior leadership often demonstrates a lack of clear strategic direction. Many leaders have been with the company for over a decade and continue to be promoted, which may limit fresh perspectives. -Workplace culture can be challenging, with behavior such as yelling and degrading team members during team meetings, deflecting responsibility followed by the occasional gaslighting, and a lack of accountability are accepted. -Recognition and rewards are limited, with modest merit increases (around 3%) and no bonus structure. Given the workload, leadership challenges, and limited growth incentives, this role may not be worthwhile unless you are entering at a senior leadership level.
