Pacific Workplaces Customer Reviews Compared to Regus and WeWork
Updated Q1 2025
In March 2025, we updated our annual comparative customer review rating analysis of Pacific Workplaces (PAC) versus its main competitors (Regus and WeWork) as published on Yelp, Google, and TrustPilot. Because these average ratings at the scale of our portfolio apply to hundreds of reviews, we believe the numbers to be extremely relevant when looking at each company’s average. We also broke them down by location. We picked the closest location of our competitors to ours in each of our markets. Especially where Yelp and Trustpilot are concerned, PAC comes out ahead.
Note: In 2024, Regus had 428 total Google reviews, but their Oakland City Center location closed. We removed that location’s reviews from this data and replaced it with Regus’ other Oakland location at Lake Merritt which had less reviews to contribute to the overall total compared to the previous City Center location. WeWork had 821 total reviews in 2024, but the San Jose location on E Santa Clara Street permanently closed. We removed that location’s reviews from this data and replaced with reviews from the Riverpark Tower location which had significantly less reviews to contribute to the overall total.
The differences are striking. Given the level of caution these online platforms take in monitoring reviews, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to beat the system, for example by trying to flood any of them with artificially friendly reviews. This is true for all platforms, but especially for TrustPilot that will systematically send a review request to all new customers as part of the service they provide to the coworking operator.
The below tables show the raw data for each location and coworking operator in an effort to provide as much transparency as possible.

Notes:
N/A = That particualr location did not have a Yelp or Google profile or there were no reviews.
TrustPilot reports are company-wide only.
So why are we systematically able to generate more happy customers than our competition? The answer is both simple and quite involved. We believe that these ratings reflect our foundational core values, which we can summarize in two simple yet powerful words: WE CARE! We live this to our bones. Our company culture, our business processes, our HR approach, are all geared towards caring about our members, our communities, stakeholders, and our staff. In the end:
Happy Staff + Efficient Processes + Solid Community Grounding = Happy Members
And we have the data to prove it!
