Change CFO (de facto CEO)

Pros

Iconic, albeit almost nostalgic, brand. Passionate staffs, changing environment, pace, availability of different projects. Casual atmosphere where generating volumes of subpar work is valued over the more insightful value-added. If you can turn a 3 page deck into 20 pages without saying anything additional in those added slides, my friend -you are what WWE Finance is looking for. If you can ID every fire it as someone else's to put out, you are management. If your calculus can make 1+1=4million subscribers, then you are WWE finance Man of Year. It is like being in a reality TV show, but as a job where needless and mind bending mistakes are made out in the open and not questioned. As I write this I surmise the "Real World - WWE Tower" is being pitched...

Cons

For those involved in the WWE Network life has been emotionally tough, it was a huge endeavor and if judged through the right expectations it has been a success…however, the CFO unilaterally told the world that it would be multiple times greater than any figures that were analyzed to death. The turnover here is terrible. The accusations of sexism, racism, and incestousness. RAW is dying needlessly, they replaced experts in TV who had long careers here without backups, and this killed RAW, which is now killing the Network. Now is simply the worst time to work for the WWE, true that they will pay you a 25% premium to other offers, but you will immediately regret it and it will strand you in Stamford CT.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits (health, 401k, paid vacation, etc.)

Cons

Very poor people management (stemming from the Harvey Weinstein/Miramax days - I heard the President has a brutal nickname in Hollywood that I will not divulge for slanderous purposes), all employees go above and beyond - wearing multiple hats, but management has an unwillingness to learn what each employee does, and they don't replace people when they are gone, just make others absorb their duties. Corporate does not support this office, HR and IT have failed us multiple times. Even after security flaws and theft. After almost a decade, I've contacted them several times with serious complaints, they'll tell you to "quit" because it's a "hostile environment". Um........really? You won't help to correct that? Isn't that your job? It's that good old boy NY corporate mentality. HR has been to our office twice - once to replace the president and another to "see how we're doing" after 4 employees quit, back to back to back to back, over 4 weeks this year, going to better companies. Titanic meet ice burg - or maybe the ship is already starting to split in half. Pretty sad for a "billon dollar company".

Cons

The Company makes billions but pays pennies NO DIVERSITY AT THE STUDIO FOR MINORITIES. No bonuses Takes a while to move up unless you luck up Knew two women who felt harassed but the accused guy still works there
