Hybrid Work Hybrid Work FAQs

  • Mondays and Fridays are enterprise-wide virtual work days. Wherever you work best—at home or your favorite coffee shop—you’ve got options. Prefer working from an office? No worries—we’re open Monday and Friday with limited services based on location. Associates typically use virtual days for heads-down work like leveling up skills, networking with colleagues across the country or making headway on projects.

    Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are our designated in-office days. We spend 2-3 days per week working together, and enjoy opportunities to build relationships, collaborate with teams and take advantage of in-person resources.

  • Most likely. Hybrid is Capital One’s primary work style for many of our associates across our people center locations.

    For Café and Retail branch roles, associates work in-person to represent our brand, build solid relationships, solve problems and help customers plan out their financial goals.

  • We’re all about personal flexibility and cultivating a vibrant in-person experience. Our hybrid work philosophy ties to our welcoming, people-first culture that supports balance—at work and in life.
