As I manage a community for those who want more flexibility at work that includes a job board this has frustrated me to no end. Companies want to be known for being flexible and be cognizant of the struggle/juggle of work/life balance. But at the same time their job postings scream that they are not.

Boilerplate language and hoping to discuss flexibility during the interview just won't cut it. It needs to be clear they are committed and the job may allow for life to happen during the work week.
