Pacific Workplaces Customer Reviews Compared to Regus and WeWork

Updated Q1 2023

In March 2023, 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.

Trustpilot Customer Reviews Average Ratings for Q1 2023 | Pacific Workplaces

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.

Note: 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!
