Pros

Common Desk is a cool place to work if you're young, fresh out of college, and looking for a cool experience. Happy Hour is part of the job description, so get ready to have fun.

Cons

If you're looking for something serious, this is not the place. If you went to college and have a good degree, don't waste it here. You'll be sitting at a front desk sorting mail as a secretary for the next year and a half of your life, wasting your knowledge for terrible pay. We are hourly and management told us we are not allowed to get overtime anymore even though that was part of the pitch during my interview when I expressed concern about $20/hr. Everyone that management likes will get endless opportunities for promotions. If you're not friends with them, don't expect anything and I mean anything.

Pros

Overall the core members of leadership are passionate, skilled and empathetic. The spaces by and large are inspired and the variety that each week brings from well intentioned events, new members and novel conversations is sometimes the main difference between a meh work week and one that has you inspired to grow and challenge yourself. 85% of my coworkers were a pleasure to be around.

Cons

Mid-level management, the amount of people who aren't held to the same standards, the disparity in the actual working locations and how that affects what's expected of you, the "fluff" that managers throw at you to entice more work at the same or negligible pay, and the overall lack importance on growth of leaders that directly corresponds to how you grow leaves much to be desired.
