In a tight job market, why would you choose this mess?
Pros
Wework gave me the opportunity to find my niche and build my resume. But I'm not sure if the toxicity was worth it.
Cons
WeWork pays far below market and does not correct it even when you bring up these concerns to management. I left after nearly 4 years there and was immediately hired elsewhere. My new job is an extreme improvement in work-life balance -- which you should also consider when looking at how much a company pays you. Additionally, to give you some context regarding how low WeWork pays: my new job (after I left WeWork) was MORE THAN a 50% increase in take home pay. Depending on what team you're on, you may face an extremely toxic environment, complete with bullying which is enabled by management. Hard work, long hours, loyalty to the company, and innovation within your department is not valued or rewarded here -- I now know this by seeing how amazing another workplace is by comparison. Simply put, I felt taken advantage of at WeWork and I am not alone in this sentiment.
