It's a umask problem. You'll probably need to set up a cron job such as
the following:

        * * * * * find /work ! -type d -exec chmod 664 \{\} \;
        * * * * * find /work   -type d -exec chmod 775 \{\} \;

        
to recursively set the correct permissions. Note that if you don't have
subdirectories (which require the execute bit set), you can just do:

        chmod g+rw /work/*

Using a recursive chmod will unfortunately unset the execute bit on
directories, or perhaps set the execute bit on files which should be
executable. Find gives you much more flexibility.
