      What is health insurance like at WeWork?

      WeWork reviews

      Great Career Start!

      Senior community lead
      Current employee
      Los Angeles, CA
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Lots of change - Work with multiple cross functional partners - Exposure to lots of different start-ups - Lots of work with local communities - Unlimited espresso, kombucha, cold brew, and coffee on tap - Quarterly outings with your local team - Great work life balance

      Cons

      - Growth can be tough after Senior Lead - Once someone leaves a role at WeWork, they often do not backfill the position, meaning no room for growth for those who'd like to move up the ladder - Community employees don't get the flex schedule that HQ, Leasing, and Leadership employees get. Meaning we're in building all day, 5 days a week. Everyone else comes in 3-4 times a week, and typically aren't in all day. - Benefits have declined over the years. We now pay into our health coverage and there is no tiered system to PTO. A day-one-employee gets the same amount of PTO that an employee who has been with the company for years gets - Constant turnover in Corporate Leadership - Our company culture has died down since COVID. We used to meet 3-4 times a year as an LA county employee group. Now, we're lucky if we get to see our peers once a year, if that. - WeWork was a leader in Inclusion and Diversity, having an in-house team who solely worked on I&D work for employees. Nowadays, it's all volunteer based.

      Pros

      A stimulating, engaging and altogether exciting place to work. With a huge range of clients (members) from all across the world there is always someone new and exciting to talk to, but also a sturdy group of regulars I have grown close to and find great fulfillment in helping and celebrating with for both the high and lows of business. My team in-particular are fantastic! My manager maintains a core focus on wellbeing for both us, the staff, and our members; something incredibly rare to find! Also, the overall benefits from health care, health insurance, bike-to-work scheme, etc. are always appreciated.

      Cons

      As with any large cooperation there can be a bit of tick boxing, data collecting and information overload (in regards to the sheer range of locations), but this is to be expected and is hardly, in my opinion, a con, rather a natural risk with any successful business.

      Beware layoffs

      Pros

      - Competitive pay and medical benefits - Fair work/life balance - I gained a lot of experience as a result of doing the jobs of multiple people.

      Cons

      - I knew it would be a rocky road when I showed up the first day and they weren't expecting me. - Also: ongoing layoffs, dishonest and incompetent leadership team, no 401k match, bonus structure in flux, promotions not given when deserved

      Great if you enjoy customer service and building operations

      Pros

      Good benefits - private health insurance Meeting loads of people and making amazing connections Free coffee everyday Opportunities for progression within Community

      Cons

      -Whatever the role you do within Community, you will be doing customer service and the 'customer is always right' -Progression is available but very slow and competitive, no promotions , you will need to be endorsed by your manager and go through a rigorous application process in order to be promoted -No flexibility or work from home, you will need to take your lunch hours to attend a doctors appointment and your time will be on a managed by 30 min increments and will have no autonomy over your own time - You will be required to be flexible and move your shifts or lunches to fit the needs of the business however - No benefits have been added or enhanced since 2021 and have only been stripped or become tighter - You will be required to increase moral and build relationships in buildings which aren't operationally sound and have functionality issues such as leaks that have persisted for years or no roof without having any authority to actual fix any of these big problems, and you are responsible to make sure people don't complain about them

      Tumultuous, terrible leadership

      Leasing manager
      Former employee

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Wonderful coworkers (below executive / director leadership levels) Great culture within individual offices and lower level employees Good physical offices

      Cons

      Beside the obvious tumult and obstacles this company has faced, the list is beyond extensive. With sales - they align teams on "team goals' which do not recognize or reward person performance, they instead punish top performers for low performing portfolios. There were times our goals were not even possible because they were beyond the actual inventory we had in our territory for the month. The pay is abysmal; people will go on leave, quit, or be let go and you are expected to fill in for roles (in my case, a superior of mine left and I was left to do his job for 6 months) without any compensation or raise. They offer promotions without pay raises. When faced with financial instability, they choose to cut top performers who are making more money vs. lower performing individuals which leaves teams left with incompetent leaders and colleagues. This is a giant popularity contest- the people who have been here forever are trauma bonded to the company and will tell you it is worth working harder, for less pay, as part of a bigger vision. Most management level leadership has 0 outside experience. There are 0 benefits- stock worth nothing, expensive health insurance, no 401k matching, not even snacks in the office. Promotion opportunities are few and far between with entire teams fighting for 1 open position; they hire favorites over performance At times, they were super strict about PTO even when you are performing well and having no problems at work.

      Pros

      At a city level, WeWork is an incredible place to work. I've had multiple roles on various teams over five years and I've always had great respect for the people I work with. Work life balance is great and it's still a fun work environment, even through the publicity and profitability challenges of the last five years. I've never had a job I enjoy more in terms of my direct colleagues and the work I'm doing.

      Cons

      However, in five years I've been laid off twice (and rehired in other roles) through various reorganizations. While I appreciate that my colleagues have swiftly recognized my value and swooped me back up it feels as though I could easily be placed in a new position instead of dealing with layoffs over and over again. At the same time, despite only being unemployed by WeWork for a total of 3 weeks HR still refuses to recognize my five year anniversary with the company. Despite multiple meetings between HR, my director and myself it's "not possible" to give me the official recognition for the time I've spent here given the gap of less than 1 month. This feels like such a simple fix, and a way that WeWork could deliver on one of its "values" of "Do The Right Thing." Over the last year WeWork has removed their 401k matching and stopped paying our health insurance premiums (with no change to salaries to offset). It feels like honoring my five year anniversary is a simple thing to do given all of these negative changes, but it goes to show that the corporate and on-the-ground experience aren't necessarily the same. (Note: my paid time off and potential severance packages are different based on my start date, so beyond simple recognition for my time my benefits are also affected)
