Pros

Where do I begin! WeWork is an amazing place to work and grow as an individual. Not only have I gained so much experience in the short amount of time I've been here but I enjoy all the perks of being in this awesome company. To list a few..... -happy hours and weekly events. Recently we had a cookie and ice cream bar just because it was Monday! -atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming . People are taken aback by how amazing the design and layout of are spaces are. It does not look like your typical office. -amenities from beer on tap, coffee, video games (N64 seriously), recording studio, and so much more. I am constantly bragging about how cool my job is. Sometimes people don't believe me because it sounds so surreal. -we get to enjoy the benefits offer like discounts on retailers such as Uber, NYSC, Bowlmor Lanes, Gansevoort hotels, to name a few. I can go on and on about how cool this company is but seriously take my word for it, everyone who is here loves it. For those who have not been happy here at WeWork need to remember we are still fairly new and growing to be better everyday. Sure it may be a little unstructured but coming from the corporate world this place makes up . I've had my days where I've felt fed up and frustrated but who hasn't. I'm glad I stuck it out because I've only been here for 6 months but I have felt so valued here by my peers and the members I work for. This place is going to be the next "Google" office community base co-working spaces and more! I'm going to stick around when it blows up with success.

Cons

1. Ok it's not your typical 9-6 job. There will be some days where you may have to stay a little later. So if you are expecting to leave Bright Side: Most of the time you need to stay a bit later is to host great events. So you're technically working but you can also mingle with great people and have a few drinks (not too many). Also WeWork takes care of it's employees by providing dinner, hosting amazing parties and events (Summer camp, Halloween, & Winter Retreat), and the best part is working with so many cool people. We're all on the same boat but we all have a great time here. 2. It's not for the faint of heart. Be ready to be challenged. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming. There are some days that are crazy busy. We provide many services to many members so it can get hectic. Bright Side: This job has pushed me beyond the limits I didn't know I could handle. It's kind of like living in a faced-paced city like New York, "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere." In saying that, WeWork allows you to take ownership. We are growing so rapidly, employees are promoted within 3 months. You are also encouraged to "Do What You Love" and "Never Settle". Being transparent and voicing your opinion is highly encouraged.

Pros

Weekends off Solid structure that you couldn’t find in a normal cafe Base rate that would be equivalent to working a busy cafe with tips

Cons

Depending on location, the customer flow can be insanely heavy. Members tend to come multiple times a visit.

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.
