Unique and rewarding, but slow growth speed and little compensation

Pros

The people are very passionate and the company is an industry leader for a reason. You are challenged creatively and there are a ton of benefits, including live event tickets and a substantial benefits package. The corporate gym is also a nice touch.

Cons

There is a very “cliquey” feel between different groups that sometimes gives off a high school vibe. Promotions are ridiculously slow there is no way to be confident that you are going to get one. Compensation should start higher; there’s no excuse for a company this profitable to pay their employees so low compared to other media companies.

Pros

All the company cares about is the brand

Cons

There are a number of reviews here that nail it perfectly for anyone thinking of joining this train wreck. When HR and Senior staffers have to post bogus reviews about the company in an effort to generate interest to attract candidates you should really think twice about joining. I’ve worked with some incompetent Human Resource people but never an entire department like the one I have here. They absolutely set a new standard for ineptitude that, in some ways, is magnificent to watch in the first person. One day I sat mystified, marveling at their buffoonery as they had a discussion with an employee who they caught lying on their resume about a prior job title and still couldn’t manage to terminate this person. Yet, they’ve RIF’d other more gifted colleagues since I’ve been here because someone in the organization didn’t like them for some petty, high-schoolish reason. This is not an HR group that will support you when you need it, so don’t really on it. Which ever reviewer posted about the turnover here is correct. In fact, I’d be inclined to say they were conservative at 50%, as it is off the charts. Let’s not forget the number of employees (wait, “contractors”) affiliated with this company who have tragically died over the last decade. And I don’t mean their careers metaphorically died, I mean they actually DIED. Unbelievable. The WWE culture is highly toxic. The employees that engage in the type of treatment of other people I’ve witnessed are despicable and should be embarrassed about their behavior. Accusations of sexism, racism, discrimination etc. are very real indeed. I work in a capacity that I touch about every department in the building and these are hands down some of the most unfriendly, unprofessional, immature people you will ever meet and during my time here people refused to even look me in the eye never mind offer the most basic of assistance. It is most definitely a CYA company. Your entire skill set will atrophy while you are on this job, be it technical (systems are disgraceful) or interpersonal and you will undoubtedly regress taking nothing with you as you inevitably transition to whatever destination is next for you. Everything starts from the top down and the leadership is a joke. This trickles down through the ranks and inevitably infects the sycophants below making it impossible to respect and support incompetent leadership like that. Nepotism at its finest with this bunch. If Steffys last name wasn’t what it is she’d be unemployable as she struggles to form coherent thoughts or sentences during meetings and the CFO has no business heading the Finance organization (several former colleagues of his share the same opinion). Oh, and worst RUG ever! Seriously, pony up the extra few bucks and get that thing replaced. WWE is simply a family run, mom-and-pop shop masquerading as public company. If shareholders, the SEC, or even law enforcement ever found out about how this company is run or what goes on inside that building they would be sued into third world poverty. My advice, don’t be collateral damage, stay away from WWE.
