Great Culture, Poor Flexibility - Anonymous employee Cortland Employee Review

There is no work from home and no option to telecommute, so no ability to schedule a regular work from home day. This would be frustrating anywhere, but traffic in Atlanta is a nightmare - even people that live within 10 miles of the office can spend more an hour and a half commuting every day. A policy this inflexible makes work-life balance more difficult to achieve. I really wish I had a day to work from home each week - instead of a quick walk around the office or to the kitchen to grab coffee when I need a break, I could throw laundry in the dryer, start meal prep, or spend 5-10 minutes picking up after kids. Little breaks that would make a real difference in my stress level day to day. And that's not to mention the benefits of skipping a day in traffic! I do love my colleagues and the day to day at Cortland, though! Not every company is going to be flexible and that's okay. But flexibility/work from home policy is the thing I'd change if I could.
