Disclaimer: My company has our office space at Second Shift…read more That being said, I wanted to give a shout out for what Second Shift is and what sets it apart. It's a fantastic coworking space for those that are looking for a spot to do work that is well appointed, welcoming and community-focused. Their leadership sets them apart and rather than focusing on squeezing dollars from their membership - they want to build a helpful, strong and welcoming community for everyone. We have private desks which at the current rate is a steal for anything in Logan or other neighborhoods, but public space abounds for those not looking for a private space. There are conference rooms, phone booths and common areas that are all able to be reserved by their online system. I've been to a number of coworking spaces that are either incredibly pretentious or try so hard to be cool and edgy that they lose their purpose. People can actually get shit done here and meet others that are entrepreneurs who can benefit their company. We've added 3 contractors to our company roster simply by being here and they have added to the quality of work our company provides. If you're looking for a space to call your own, get work done and hang out in a wonderful community - Second Shift is the place for you.

Joining totally got me out of a work funk, I'm more productive when I come here, and now I actually appreciate it when I do work from home! If you're looking not just for a workspace, but for someplace you can meet people and make connections, this is the spot.

I love coming to this Industrious in the heart of Wicker Park on Division. Jules, the community…read moremanager is awesome, and so are the other staff I've met. My company is based out of another industrious in chicago, so I simply register for an open space online through the member portal before I come to this location (much closer to home). This location is substantially smaller than the others downtown, but it's never been crowded when I'm here. Minus 1/2 star because the phone booths (by the bathroom) are not very well insulated, but they did recently install two new recording-booth looking modular phone booths across the outdoor bridge. If you've never been to an Industrious, it's a co-working space where your organization can secure an office space, rent conference rooms, and/or utilize any open spaces (for free) in any industrious (nation-wide). Can't rattle off their rates off the top of my head, but I'd recommend checking out their website. I've loved having access to their spaces as a mostly remote employee for a small-medium sized nonprofit.

Local Industrious team is good (Jules is the best), location is amazing (only good spot in Wicker…read morePark), and the office is always in decent shape. Amenities feel like they have trailed off a bit over the past year, and those without dedicated offices will experience some minor issues (limited number of call booths, call booth lights turn off randomly without a couple of minutes of steady (read: exaggerated) movement). The real issue for me, however, is the sales team. They are unhelpful and rigid, and take a short sighted view towards customer relations. I had an unexpected change in location circumstances 3 weeks before my 12 month lease was set to go into effect. Because Industrious' sales team has a 60 day notice requirement, they required me to pay the entirety of the 12 month lease in full. No negotiated solution was offered - they were not willing to convert me to month-to-month, would not entertain my early release offers, and didn't even suggest a like for like exchange of leases in a new location. So, as a customer, beware that if you have any changed circumstance (even one where you can provide essentially full, 12 months of notice), Industrious will seek to extract full value from you. Passing along as this would have changed my calculus when determining whether to enter into a month to month (at an extremely high premium) or longer duration at the beginning.

Located in the Hoxton hotel, this coworking space is so nice! It is quite busy and many of their…read moreoffice spaces look like they are rented out to a handful of folks. They have two levels - the first level features a large lounge-like space with a coffee bar. Patio space is also available on nicer days. There are a few phone rooms available and there is also a communal working space that is designed for quiet working. The rented office spaces are also surrounding this area. The second floor features a smaller lounge and more studio spaces so working space is more limited. I was able to find a few good spots to work from, however, they don't have big tables available outside of the communal quiet space so it isn't a spot to really lay out all of your work. Wifi was great and there are light refreshments available while you are there. I would recommend trying a day! Also perk for those of you with dogs, this place is dog friendly so you can bring your dog to work! They have a green area on the second floor.

However, a few things happened in my room that made my one night stay disappointing was: 1. My tv did not work. I tried to play Netflix and it played it for like 5 mins and then my tv went black. It kept doing that. 2. The first time I used the restroom the whole toilet paper holder fell out the wall. And there was no way to put it back without the constant falling. Other than these two things my stay was a great experience'

Aw dang. You never been to the Study? Babies, you gotta get out your house and get your work on…read moredown there. Seriously, if you're in the market for a coworking spot you gotta do yourself a solid and give the Study a slide. This place is the tops. You know how hard we work? Pubert can work. But sometimes working at home can just get us all crazy in the head. That open bottle of wine from last night is calling. The cats are screaming -- it's like, kitty, I just fed you and you still hungry? Babies, we just gotta change out of our softpants, put on some bigboy slacks, and get to work. For those of us that work for ourselves, having a place like the Study all local and stuff makes it so easy to please those clients. Our clients happy, Pubert happy. This dude that run the thing, Andy, the guy is legit. Andy'll take care of you. He keeps the Study real nice. Fast internet, lotsa desks and tables, quiet atmosphere. And listen, babies, this dude made us some pour-over coffee. Yeah, you heard that right. Dude busts out the Chemex and makes us coffee. We had to do a doubletake. We judge a coworking space by how much work we can pound out. And babies, you'll never believe how productively the Rose & Company rocked it while at the Study. Got them proposals out, them numbers crunched, the clients pleasured. With time to spare, we even busted out for a quick slurp over at the Goose Island tap room that is literally on the same block as the Study. Can't beat that, babies. Gimme them hops! Maybe you see us there next time you come in. Pubert all over the country these days, but Chicago is where we hang our hat. And when we home in Chicago and need to crank out some work, the Study is our spot. Convenient and quiet. That's our jam. Now get to work!

I would recommend to anyone needing space to actually work.
