Pros

I can't speak for community jobs but I work in tech for WeWork. No clue why the company has gotten such lukewarm reviews -- I saw this as I went through the interview process but my experience thus far has been nothing but extraordinary. Pros would definitely be the work atmosphere, free coffee / snacks, regular events paid by the company, awesome lounge areas, and coworkers that, for the most part, are excited about the company and what it does for employees. The most immense benefit of working here however is the endless networking opportunity. WeWork is home to thousands of companies, so you'll meet people from every realm of business. It is an opportunity to make connections with people of different backgrounds, learn, and grow as a person. That, to me, is huge. Benefits package is good, ~3 weeks paid days off and a lenient sick day policy. Two big trips per year and they seem like a ton of fun from what I've heard (haven't been yet).

Cons

Working hours, especially for community workers, can be long. I work in tech for the company and my hours are 9-6, but I regularly see the community team working outside those boundaries. I can understand that complaint. Truthfully, my days fly by and I feel quite accomplished by the end of the day. One other complaint I saw was compensation, but I have a hard time relating to that as in my experience my salary was competitive even as a relatively new member of the workforce (I graduated college last year). The company definitely has a strong culture. Some may be put off by the "cult vibe" but to me it is simply a driven company with clear values and a mission. One other thing I would say -- no 401k contribution as of yet, but they're "working on it".

Pros

- Lots of perks (free coffee, free food, free Tee-shirts...) - Great workplace - Casual environment - Some great people

Cons

Probably the best and the worst experience of my career! - If you are looking for a place to grow it probably wont happen unless you know the right people. - I worked there for a couple of years and it's a very nepotistic environment! The people that get promoted are usually the ones that don't really do anything and you see walking around the office all day talking to people. A lot of people are protected by management and get promoted regularly without explanations. - Constantly moved from floor to floor and desks to desks without any explanations. You wake up everyday thinking that you may get let go as there is no management and structure.

Pros

If you are aware of one, I’d love to know.

Cons

Where does one even begin? I’ve never seen such a poorly run organization in my life, and the saddest part is that no one within the organization who has the power to change it, cares enough to do so. For a company that is ultimately in the real estate business at the end of the day, the lack of real estate knowledge and experience throughout the organization is unbelievable. This company is so obsessed with itself that they don’t even take the time to understand their competition. If they did they would know that their product has become inferior to that of other flex space operators over the last 6-12 months as the competition in this space has forced everyone else to step up their game. If WeWork doesn’t make MAJOR changes in the next 12 months, I think it may be too late to reverse the damage that has been done.
