Our space happens to be chunked up layout-wise so that there is a "receptionist" area, though it doesn't function entirely like a receptionist in that we don't forward calls or anything. Members works on cell phones. There are land line options in our conference rooms. The phone at reception is for fielding inquiries and the front door during the hours we're here. The phone does ring, but I'm enough up front where it's not an issue for members working in the back. I am that "receptionist", as well as the janitor, LOL! All the hats we wear ;)
