I have visited We Work after hours for meet ups but never during the day. Could someone describe what the staff does or what they should do? Isn't it substantially a real estate company, so is it all leasing/sales plus some facilities work?

At West Loop, there are two front desks, each staffed by 1-2 people; one at reception, one on the second floor, which I assume is there for member services? Then there are 3-4 at-large workers in black WeWork t-shirts taking out trash, delivering mail? No, wait, no they don't deliver anything. I think they just take out the trash.

Then there's a night crew that comes in and cleans the building.
