I was a member at WeWork for over a year. The company doesn’t have a direction. WeWork seems more like a hip place to look cool than get stuff done.

A few experiences I’ve had:

1. WeWork holds lots of events like “Dog of the Month.” Meanwhile, there are empty desks everywhere and the printer doesn’t work.

2. I cancelled and no one ever followed up to ask why or try to keep me as a customer (see above).

3. The spaces are always too loud and chaotic. Every attempt is made to maximize rentable space that is never rented. American Airlines offers more bathrooms per passenger than WeWork has for its tenants.

4. I was able to cancel to $550 / month dedicated desk membership and get a year of hot desk membership for FREE thanks to a new promotion with American Express. AMEX snd WeWork should not have opened this generous deal to existing WeWork customers. This is very poor revenue management and shows the shortsighted approach the company has toward growth.
