An office worth the commute for Consulting teams in Chicago, IL

Chicago engagement teams swell and shrink by the quarter, and fixed meeting rooms never match the headcount.

The problem

People who can do focused work at home will not commute to do it badly. When the office offers less privacy than a spare bedroom, attendance policies do the arguing instead of the workplace.

Consultants spend the week between client sites, home, and the office, and the office has to earn the day it gets.

What renting changes

Privacy is consistently near the top of what people say would make the office worth the trip. Pods add it in weeks rather than at the next lease event.

Serving Chicagoland, with delivery and maintenance included.

Why it works for consulting: Teams that scale up for an engagement can add pods for its duration and return them at the end.
