Pros

Really depends on your department, but I work with talented people. WWE is generous with free live event tickets, they have above average benefits, and the brand name is very conducive to getting business done when dealing with outside world. Potential for lots of travel, depending on department. Like anyplace sometimes deadlines get hectic, but I'm still able to see my family & not have to work constant 60-80 hour work weeks. Many have said otherwise, but every department is different.

Cons

Old equipment & ideas, they are 10 years behind on everything, very slow to get promoted, run like a bad mom & pop operation for how big they are, people don't feel taken care of, very much a "this is how we've always done it" mentality, low morale amongst most departments from what I see. A lot of people are very miserable & just going through the motions. The buck starts and stops with one man, Vince McMahon. There are 5-6 other people that have varying degrees of actual power in the company. Things simply don't get done until the absolute last second, because Vince and a few others have to sign off on EVERYTHING, but have very little time to do it. Not smart or efficient business at all. Majorly bloated, incompetent senior management. Don't ever expect to get an answer from anyone that has a title of EVP, SVP, or VP, as they are all paralyzed with fear to make any real decisions so they can continue to be yes-men and collect their paycheck. Once they clear out most of the people that have been there 20+ years, this place can really be innovative. There are some very talented people there that are stuck in the mud, waiting their turn, & should be running their department. They have also lost a lot of talent due to incompetent management. The machine has become so big it kind of runs itself, so their bonehead business decisions haven't completely ruined the company... yet.

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.
