Pros
It’s the “cool” job that your friends and family get to brag about. Getting to know fighters as they go from their first fight to champions is cool to be part of the journey.
Cons
The amount of lies employees are told on a daily basis is absurd. There is zero leadership or guidance. Executives really only pay attention to you if you are sleeping with them and that also earns you a better bonus pay. Egos are off the charts. President makes irrational decisions off the cuff with zero opportunity to have a conversation about a situation. HR is a joke! Sexual harassment is accepted and expected. Forget work/life balance. It’s frowned upon to take time off but they also don’t roll over or pay out vacation. There’s no sense to the pay scale or bonus structure. No career advancement. Very cliquey. Expected to be on and answer your phone and email 24/7, 365 days a year. WME has no idea about the sport, they don’t care about understanding it. They lay people off every November so the whole company is usually on pins and needles. It’s definitely a place where it feels more like a cult and forced to drink the kool-aid than an actual corporate, leadership driven business.
