Pros: They offer a hybrid work model, which is a nice perk for an IT services company. I could mostly WFH, only needing to be in the Atlanta, GA office a few days a week for essential in-person support. That flexibility for an IT Support Specialist was a solid benefit.
Cons: The 'flexibility' has its limits. Sometimes client emergencies meant being on call even on WFH days, which isn't ideal. There's pressure to respond to tech support tickets quickly, so it's not always a true 40-hour week, especially in the IT services industry.
Advice to Management: Clarify expectations around 'flexible' hours, especially for remote IT support. Recognize that being on-call outside of core hours significantly impacts work-life balance and true flexibility.
