Pros

It's about wrestling I guess.

Cons

I could literally write a book about just how disgusting the WWE is running but the main key points are: - Lack of health care to it's WRESTLERS who make the company for what it is today - Hackneyed on-camera presentation, featuring so many ill-prepared stories, characters and even the camera - Oppressive and hostile work environment - Blatant nepotism and selectivity - The McMahons (especially Vince) - No equal pay for it's wrestlers - Doesn't look out for it's former wrestlers

Pros

1. You will learn a ton. On the TV side, WWE is one of the leading production companies in the amount of high quality content it puts out. If you are eager to learn the basics of television production - I would say there is no better place than to start than here. Depending on the department, you are given a lot of responsibility and if motivated, you will learn a lot and craft your skills that can give the edge needed in the cutthroat industry of entertainment. Most production assistants at other companies are delegated menial tasks and while you will get some of those here - you are also given tasks expected of people in much higher positions at other companies. These tasks while somewhat difficult and stressful and way above the pay grade of a production assistant, will give you the ability to craft your skills and help advance your career. 2. The people and your co-workers are fantastic for the most part. There are some rotten eggs but they are in the minority as most of the people I worked with are some of the most talented and genuinely nice people in the industry.

Cons

1. Management is utterly incompetent. One review on here states that there are people in high up positions who should hold much lower titles and people in lower positions who should hold much higher titles. That is very true. Management are very afraid to think for themselves or stand up to the higher ups and instead quote on quote "drink the cool-aid". They play into the toxic work environment that doesn't benefit the lower level employees of any given department who then end up having to deal with these ridiculous work requirements/ standards. I guess management is resistant to change because at the end of the day, it doesn't really affect them as the lower level employees pick up all the slack. In all, it turns what should be a fun job with an exciting product into a frustrating slog. 2. People really don't get rewarded for hard work and it is incredibly hard to get promoted or move up in the company. It ends being quite absurd because you then have no motivation to work hard because at the end of the day, if you do a mediocre job or excel above your peers and deliver stellar work it ends up all the same - you ain't gonna get promoted or rewarded unless you suck up to your boss. 3. Work/life balance is abysmal but also kinda expected within the industry but then again the way management run things here makes it much worse than any other similar entertainment company.
