Pros

If you are single, between the ages of 25-30, and love to drink +/or do drugs than this is the workplace for you.

Cons

Teams get switched around so quickly you do not have time to build a rapport which leaves you feeling unsupported and in turn unfulfilled. In the last year, there were multiple tiers created within the design department - Associate Designer, Interior Designer, and Senior Interior Designer - but there is little to no difference in the roles aside from salary. Lastly, teams are pushed so hard to deliver desks each month, in order to appease investors, that often times you are opening projects that look like construction sites which is depressing and embarrassing.

Pros

+ WeWork's mission is to build a more caring, connected world, save the planet, and elevate consciousness. They put their money where their mouth is. What else could you want from a company mission. + Management's heart is in the right place, seem like they learn from their mistakes and take feedback + Awesome compensation, benefits, and amazing office in downtown SLC

Cons

- The Teem office & team was acquired by WeWork in late 2018, so there is currently (in 4/2019) some admin and IT pains caused by the merging of both infrastructures

Pros

In my time here I've met some truly wonderful humans. Good opportunity for junior talent to get a lot of exposure quickly.

Cons

BE WARNED: On multiple occasions, it was encouraged to add or upvote positive Glassdoor reviews to offset the (many) negatives. There's a reason many positive reviews are so short. ---- For a company that claims to sell culture, WeWork's internal vibe is culturally anorexic at best and completely run on fear. I wish I could count the number of times a colleague cried on my shoulder for fear of getting canned. Executives view employees as "lucky" to be there which trickles down to an overall pattern of disrespect from the top - especially the C-suite. Comp is poor and untransparent, nepotism runs rampant through the (very narrow) halls, and fear of speaking up has formed pockets of rebellion. It has become a game to sit around common areas and swap WeWork horror stories like battle-hardened foot soldiers. It's the most cult-like environment I've seen outside of Jonestown. They list mandatory events as part of the benefits package and then punish those who don't want to take 4 days away from family. In my time at the company, I've never brought in a former colleague I cared for as I didn't want to be responsible for their experience if hired.
