Pros: The hybrid work option is a major plus for anyone in financial advisory. We could usually work from home two days a week, which really helped avoid the tough Chicago commute. It's nice not to be stuck in the office five days straight.
Cons: True flexibility for Junior Consultant roles can be tough. If a client needs you onsite for a last-minute meeting, your WFH day is basically gone. It felt like work-life balance was more talk than reality sometimes, especially around client deadlines.
Advice to Management: Management should really look into more consistent flexibility across different project teams. It's frustrating when some consultants get more WFH days than others, even in similar advisory roles.
