World 50

World 50 is an incredibly unique company that was created almost by accident to fulfill an urgent demand in the C suite of Global 2000 companies. Working closely with companies like Google, Nike, Apple, Amazon, Facebook and many others both in the US and Internationally, World 50 has been able to take some of the best practices from these companies and apply them to developing the culture in World 50. there is ample PTO(you start with 20 days plus major holidays plus a competition each year to get the last week of the year off), great benefits, and "stock options" where each employee begins accruing shares in the company after working for 12 months. When the PE backed ownership changes, employees will recieve compensation for their shares, and (hopefully) the process will start over again. 

compensation at World 50 is low relative to hours put in and value added, but you have the opportunity to learn from the best executives at the best companies in the world and develop a network both internally with some extremely gifted and unique individuals, and externally with fortune 500 executives and guests (Like Colin Powell, Garry Kasperov, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Richard Branson, Robert Redford, NY Children's Hospital Trauma Team).
You also have an incredible work life balance. As long as you get in and get your work done, lunch is flexible as are hours. Some days i put in 14 hours, sometimes i leave at 3:30 on friday if i really grind all day and get everything finished and we have a great week. 

Other benefits include having guests that speak with our members come by the office and give us "lunch n learn" sessions where we hear some amazing life stories. The office itself is also incredible. Two different kegs every week, incredible coffee and espresso machines, stocked fridge and tons on tons of snacks(people joke you put on the freshman 15 again during your first year at W50). 

Management has great moments and bad moments, but overall they listen and adapt to the straategic thinking of their employees better than any other company I know. 

Overall a remarkable place to work if money is not the most important thing to you. It will set you up for a wonderful career.

A typical day started with warm/cold Europe because of the time difference. I learned how to manage a sales process from start to finish. Management for the membership development team was excellent. I couldn't have asked for a more collaborative and supportive team. The hardest part of the job was penetrating Asia-Pacific mostly because of the cultural differences. The most enjoyable part of working at World 50 was that it was a fun but hard working environment.

It is clear why W50 hires young staffers - because experience and industry knowledge are not valued. Having entered my role with over a dozen years of experience, I was then given the feedback that "you will not even know enough about us to contribute until you've been here for a year." In attempts to problem-solve and brainstorm ideas for challenges, I was immediately smacked down. The office culture is good - they take care of their staff - but spending is also frivolous. If you want to check boxes, this might be a good company for you. If you want to use your brain and contribute ideas, look elsewhere.

The day-to-day is very interesting and fun, but the overall culture is strange. Turnover is high and people are often undermining one another. The power balance between different employees is confusing because it's all related to the histories that people have with the company, so good luck figuring that out if you're not a legacy employee. Pleasant people, interesting jobs, poor compensation for the level of responsibility and a confusing and often-changing management structure. I wouldn't advise against it but I wouldn't do it again, either. Just depends on what you're looking for.

Great niche market, good business model, really great coworkers...but unfortunately management is more interested in the bottom line and everyone falling into line. There was little to no room for creative expression or ideas to make things better - if the management team didn't buy into them or didn't personally know you, then ideas were shot down. Conformity over creativity.

World 50 is especially great for entry level employees. You will learn more in two years than many jobs! Mid-level positions are scarce and tough to get into. You'll have to create your own path after a few years. Environment is second to none! Soak in the experience while you can. Hard work and organization pays off to launch your career to success.

I spent my first three years out of college at World 50 and found it to be great place to grow as a young professional. Highly sought after skills are obtained while working at World 50 that will translate well into other fields of work.

On the bright side, there are amazing individuals at this company and the work you're doing is phenomenal. It's particularly good for people fresh out of college. However, the management team aren't always together and there are often discrepancies in workload.

its a good company, but it has a new ceo that is no longer the founder and theres no telling what that will bring. the company has an unclear direction right now but office perks in atlanta are nice. it s a pretty stressful environment though for what you make.

I started my career at World 50 and found my passion for business. Associates gain exposure to invaluable conversations, concepts, tools, and professionals while making a notable impact on the business.
