Pros: I liked the initial promise of a hybrid model, letting us work remote a couple days a week from the Dallas office. For some digital marketing teams, it actually works out pretty well. There's decent equipment for WFH days.
Cons: The work flexibility really depends on your clients and direct manager. As an Account Manager, I often felt tied to the office because of client meetings. Late nights are common, which makes the WFH options less useful when you're still working until 9 PM.
Advice to Management: Management needs to enforce the hybrid policy more consistently across all teams, especially for client-facing roles. Empower managers to push back on client demands that constantly erode employee flexibility. The digital marketing industry is tough, but it doesn't have to break people.
