Pros: I liked the option for hybrid work, letting me be in the Chicago office a few days and remote the others. For a Marketing Specialist, this setup was pretty good, giving some work-life balance. It beats being fully onsite, for sure.
Cons: True flexibility often depends on your direct manager. Some teams require more onsite days than advertised, which can be tough. It sometimes feels less like hybrid work and more like mandatory office days with a couple of remote exceptions.
Advice to Management: Ensure hybrid work policies are consistently applied across all departments and managers. Empower managers to truly offer flexible schedules, not just mandated office days.
