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

As an Associate Producer you will be assuming the role that a much more senior team member would at another organization.

Cons

There is no work/life balance. Hours are long and you will not get overtime. Comp days are hard to come by.

Pros

Great passion for the business and generally smart people across the departments. I know some of the reviews on here bash specific people or departments (CFO, Head of Revenue, Head of HR etc) but I find them all to be very strong and frankly, better than the company deserves. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Culture is shockingly bad-- especially within the leadership ranks. Most of the issues hidden from the Chairman.
