I joined the wing about 2 months ago and It's been an awesome decision. The location is in the heart of downtown, the building is beautiful and the decor is amazing. They have recently opened another floor which was definitely needed - but I've never struggled with seating or finding a place to take a call. The beauty room, showers etc are so perfectly detailed with everything you could need to get ready for the day (even robes to put on as you get ready!) - the food is a little over priced, but the drip coffee is free all day. My only request would be for a small kitchen area or at least a microwave if you plan to bring lunch.. otherwise your lunch has to be cold or you need to eat out.
It's less pricey than most other co-working places I found, with so many more benefits - it's a great spot for getting work done downtown and to expand your social calendar.
I joined The Wing the first week it opened, seduced by the impressive build-out at beautiful 115 Sansome. Before committing to a year-long membership, I specifically asked the membership representative if there would be a cap on membership to control volume. They gave me a resounding YES. I joined The Wing as a place to work during the day when I have to be downtown so rely upon the availability of seating and phone booths.
Eight weeks into membership, it's clear The Wing either lacks or has a faulty strategy about controlling crowding at the facility. The lack of seating (there are women taking conference calls and working on laptops in the beauty room) and squatting in the phone booths far in excess of the hour long limit has made the space not a functional choice to work, and certainly not a reliable place to plan my day around.
Their overly generous guest policy lets members have 2 guests for up to 4 hours each. I don't know what The Wing is thinking, as this encourages the daily population there to swell 2-3x. And still there are representatives touring prospects. This is apart from the fact that following a lawsuit settlement, they are now permitting men to join, which defeats the entire concept and rebukes all members' expectations as to the environment they would experience.
When I voiced my complaint and requested a refund based on the fact that their representations about controlling membership were not true, they suggested that I attend programming events (which are not of interest to me, and from my experience working later in the day, are even MORE crowded) and sent me a copy of the terms and conditions and reminded me of their "No Refunds" policy.
I am not a frequent poster, but am extremely disappointed in the level of customer service so am posting this review as a warning to those who may be considering joining.
I also reiterate the other review posted here, in that The Wing policies are nonsensical in that they are punitive to ladies who are willing to pay the company $2500 up front, there are no any refunds available, but if there are life changes for mo-to-mo members, they will cancel membership.
They did a really awesome job designing the place. Everything looks very instagrammable and chic.
I am a member and it's great but I probably won't join again. It's too far downtown and I haven't gotten involved enough to make it worthwhile. They have fun events but SF is a weird place for private clubs, especially the location.
Agree with Laura. The place gets absolutely packed, and therefore loud. If you're planning on using The Wing for work, I recommend looking elsewhere. There are a few phone booths for calls, but they're always full of people who seem to park there, despite signs limiting time to 1 hour. And there is nowhere quiet to go between the music (not ambient, mind you) and chatter. The other day I joined a conference call from the main room as there were no phone booths. After the call, I received a frustrated call from my boss saying it was "way too loud" in the background and it made it extremely difficult to have the call, despite the fact I was on mute when I wasn't talking.
If you get up later in the day... maybe to get a drink or go to the bathroom... you can either leave your stuff where it is and trust no one will touch it, or you can bring it with you and likely lose your spot and then have nowhere to sit. Morning are OK though.
You should also make sure you're asking all the right questions re fees before joining. For some reason, I was not told that there would be a $200 initiation fee (fine, whatever) and that the conference room fee was $70/hr (not fine that I wasn't told) so I incurred $340 in unexpected costs in my first 48 hours. But again, fees aside, my biggest issue is that it's packed and loud and not conducive to productive/work atmosphere.
