For both work and heat, there are positive and negative signs, which mainly depend on transfer of energy. When work is done on the system, it will have a negative sign, but when work is done by the system, we will use a positive sign. This would be similar to how we view heat in chemical thermodynamics. If a system absorbs heat, it will be a positive sign. But if heat releases from a system, it will be a negative sign.
