Pretty on the outside

Pros

-Great mission statement -Lots of events -Community oriented -Beautiful Offices -Breakfast daily and occasional dinners

Cons

WeWork has a problem with letting great employees walk out the door in favor of hiring cheaper labor or replacing them with upper management's friends. There's very little investment in careers vs jobs, and there's no real oversight for departments so directors can get away with treating people like crap and overworking them. And if you're a woman you will still get paid less than your male peers.

Front desk to HR--Oof

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Snacks, coffee, nice break rooms, good networking opp to meet with other companies, and some good coworkers.

Cons

Long hours, terrible management, HR is a joke. One I know went from front desk to HR in NYC. He does a terrible job, does not respond to candidates (like, ever) and does not portray the company well.

Pros

-Amazing colleagues who not only are like minded and intelligent, but almost always are willing to lend a hand with any of the tasks and issues that arise day in and day out. -Free coffee, free beer, free food almost daily -Overall mission of the company is very cool; enabling small businesses to succeed in a communal working environment is not only unique but something WeWork does extremely well

Cons

-Unless you are willing to pucker up to people that are down right revolting, you will not be able to advance your career. There is no merit based advancement. If you aren't liked by the inner circle, you will not move upwards. -Zero support from HQ/Upper Management for you, your team, or your opportunity to advance your career -Toxic work environment where you are constantly wondering whether your job is safe; even if you kill it day in and day out -False promises from day one until they inevitably show you the door. -You will not be able to say NO to clients, no matter how ridiculous their requests are. If you do, be prepared to get a lashing.
