Pros: I liked that as a Community Manager, I had some autonomy over my daily schedule within the building. If you needed to step out for an hour or adjust your lunch, it was usually fine. The collaborative environment in shared workspaces is also a plus for networking opportunities.
Cons: Work flexibility isn't great for the role. You're expected to be onsite most of the time to support members and handle operations. Remote work options are basically nonexistent for these onsite roles, which really impacts your work-life balance.
Advice to Management: Offer more structured hybrid or flexible hours for Community Managers, even if it's just one remote day a week. It would really help with burnout and make these essential roles more attractive for talent.
