Semi-Succeeds in Spite of Themselves. Could Be So Much Better.
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.
