Beautiful concept, awful management

Community management

Pros

Community management at WeWork is a great place for young professionals that want to grow network and figure out what they'd like to do next. In community management, you're constantly meeting business owners that are building great companies. It's a great place to find your next gig. They also have great parties.

Cons

The management doesn't care about its employees. For some reason, they are content with high turnover and low glassdoor reviews. In a community management role, you won't receive much recognition for the hard work you put in. The management claims to be focused on customer service and fostering a fun community, but they don't care about anything other than numbers - 100% occupancy is all that matters. Simply put, they overwork and undervalue their community management teams.

Pros

Young vibrant workforce. Great comradery among the team.

Cons

Work-life balance, if you join wework you have to go to parties you might not want to, work your self to the bone for stock that will only lose value and be drastically underpaid and undervalued for what you contribute.

WeWork is a Worthwhile Experience

Pros

WeWork is a booming company full of people that are excited to contribute to it's growth. They offer many employee benefits including free food and catering (all the time for all events). On top of all of the fruit, coffee, and fruit water you could ever drink, WeWork offers employee engagement events including World Cup viewings, Women of WeWork gatherings, Summer Camp and Global Summit. They really promote employee wellness.

Cons

Although they promote so much employee wellness, it is not always followed through on. I don't know anyone who hasn't felt incredibly overworked and drained. A billion dollar company is still operating as a startup and is cannot hire quickly enough to support the workload. Although they are hiring at a fast rate, the new hires' managers are people who have only been at WeWork anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, and often don't know enough about the company and it's history and operating procedures to truly inform new hires. Because of these feelings of overworking and being burned out, many people stay at WeWork for shorter periods of time. Anyone who has been at WeWork for 2+ years is looked at as a "veteran".
