WeWork reviews

Hired to relocate to another state, I signed on after agreeing to relocation assistance. I was flown up to NYC to train, however, there wasn't very much structure to the training program, at all. It was very lackadaisical. After I was hired, I was then thrown into a construction zone, having nothing to do with my training.. a month later, the ball was rolling, and the company decided overnight to make corporate lay offs. Most of the staff found out thru Bloomberg Technology.. as I was one of those. After relocating, giving up a good (financial) life prior and beieving in the brand, only to be laid off... was quite a surprise. My boss said they were also was looking for other career options as they are going thru a rocky phase right now.

No respect for employees time. There are 2-3 hour meetings every Monday after 6pm not to include the amount of internal/external events you have to attend every week after the normal 9-6 hours. No desire to train/improve employees. You're hired "at will" so if they find someone that can do your job better, they'll fire you after interviewing the new candidate. They can and will fire you without any warning. HR rarely responds to any feedback. Managers don't respond to feedback either. Managers aren't trained to lead, but simply promoted because they were able to do the previous job well. No personal development AT ALL. Everything is self-learned. WeWork thinks that they can feed their employees alcohol daily and dangle a massive IPO in front of their employees and can get away with actually caring about them. Everyone is replaceable (even execs) and it's seriously a dog-eat-dog company. Community staff work under the worst conditions. High expectations of selling with little-to-no reward. Constant negative feedback on how things could be done better. Community team rarely celebrate any successes along the way, just a new goal at the end of the year that makes everyone think their stocks are going up.
