Pros

I met some of my favorite people who were members at my building. The members genuinely cared about me and treated me well. You can make such great connections with CEO's and people you would never get to meet otherwise. There is little dress code. A good role for someone out of college. -When youre done at 5, youre done for the day.

Cons

Where to begin. First -MY BIGGEST AGGRAVATOR: 5 days a week in office with NO COVERED PARKING. How do you expect us to pay $240 a month for parking and live off of these 40k salaries. The employee appreciation is laughable. I worked in a bad part of the city. Free parking was a 10 min walk away, in threat of getting mugged. Got it. -The pay. Literally an unlivable wage with not even a conversation to be had about even a 50 cent raise. (what happens when your company is broke) -benefits. They took away our therapy this year. Raised healthcare costs. ok... -CA's literally do most of the hard work, make the least. Funny how that works. -Why are we doing all of the leasing's team work? Why are we the ones doing tours? LEASING MAKES DOUBLE WHAT I MAKE. WHY AM I DOING YOUR JOB? We have enough to do on our own. They also love to ask you to train new members, with no pay as well. -Looking to cut costs in every way that effect the employees, no one else. -WE DO NOT NEED TO COME IN FRIDAYS. OR HAVE EVERYONE THERE FRIDAYS. ITS SO EXTRA. -Management barely even gets to know you. One of my favorite moments is when they did special employee shoutouts describing a employees personality and it was just all wrong. -Put in dangerous situations. Had members who were clearly homeless and mentally ill making others in our space uncomfortable and managers said "thats not enough to kick them out" avoiding confrontation much? We deal with the consequences of danger, not you. Be more mindful of our safety. -the minuscule budget for events but expected to put on x amount of budgets. Be serious. thats my rant. thanks.

Pros

VERY cool HQ--beer, fruit water, and other treats on tap, free breakfast, amazing decor, lots of events and cool trendy vendors who bring free stuff--if you like to humblebrag via Insta, you'll love this place. Some cool people --celebrities come in and out, your colleagues are generally very attractive folks, there's a sense of excitement and true commitment to the work (borderline evangelism) depending on who you work with and what you do. Name recognition and valuation -- company is a rising star and it's worth having on your resume. A cool mission on the surface--bringing community together, helping people do what they love (making work a passion rather than a chore) through connection.

Cons

This place is like drinking from one continuous Kool-Aid jug. VERY cult-y and cliquey. You are either in or you're out, and if you're out, rather than cut you loose right away, they gaslight you. It's actually kind of shocking how many people I've seen be treated so poorly here, and perhaps no coincidence that they were folks of color. Kind of hard to find the down to earth people I did find. I enjoyed the Community teams and Security/Ops/Real Estate people I met, probably because they were constantly "hustling," but the HR team (the PEOPLE team, for goodness sake) and a lot of other "prominent" faces were consistently rude, with an overinflated sense of self and zero idea of how the WeWork "values" translate into behaviors/contributions from a prospective employee POV. You have to have been there since the start, or be prepared to ingratiate yourself, to get any traction in your professional development or career path. I was always shocked how badly my manager wanted to be liked, and how much they were willing to do to be liked, to get any kind of clout and/or promotion just bc they hadn't started out at WeWork as a community team member. Never mind that they were super qualified for their job. Pay varies depending on who you are; some people earn market value...some people very very much don't, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency that determines which is which. TGIM. Thank God it's Monday. Mandatory Monday meetings. Sometimes they circulate tequila shots. Is that a plus? Not sure. Summer Camp. Adult Summer Camp. With EDM, people in salmon colored shorts, and lots of loud rowdy entitled folks. If that's anything but a con for you, you probably belong here and godspeed.
