I left WeWork recently because of an issue of racial profiling that would have put myself and my staff and potential clients at risk that they shouldn't be subject to.
Sadly, no matter the facts, they just aren't interested in making changes that they say they're open to. They refer to their diversity programs but how are those programs really impactful if you can harass people like me and subject them to a clear double standard and furthermore the staff and management not take responsibility?
In the end, since God has blessed me to be an employer, I could have done two things...go take legal action and spend resources and time for something that was a dicey situation or make a bigger power move, move my company and future business to someone else. I chose the latter.
Sometimes, it's best to just take my business elsewhere and in this instance, I got a better situation where I'm paying more money, but that is money WeWork will never get going forward because of how they decided to mistreat me. That perhaps is the best way to send a message.
I also canceled my membership with Wework Gas Company Tower because of how their New York Corporate executive management handled me. See, they lost two accounts and their rival got more money from me and will continue to get more money long term because of how they decided to speak to me.
Be careful about how you treat customers. Not only did I leave but I wound up giving another company even more money in the short term and long term. Customer service does matter and I can hurt them in their pocketbook without filing a lawsuit.
Just because I'm a black business owner doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to make money or just accept substandard service.
Fantastic working environment. Have everything you need to have a successful productive work day. Staff is great and place is always impeccably clean and organized.
Great spot to sit and work or study. Be sure to book a room for conferences. Be sure to get a card for door access. Friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee and a limited selection of draft beer.
nice space for meetings
This is nice office at first glance, but I've come to abhor it. The vibe in the common area is nice with great coffee and free beer. The problem is actually working. I have two chief complaints:
1) Noise - If you have to make frequent phone calls the space is incredibly loud with lots of echo. The hardwood floors and concrete ceilings look stylish, but are completely impractical for any noise reduction.
2) Privacy - If you are working on any sort of confidential information the offices are all glass walled. The conference rooms all have large TV screens that are visible from outside the room. There is no way to give a confidential presentation in one of the conference rooms. Also audio privacy is compromised by the echo of the facility. I walked by a phone booth and could hear very clearly what was being discussed.
This office is so loud I find myself scheduling calls to occur when I'm in the car or at home. It looks great and feels nice, but after you get past the first impressions it's terrible.
