It really depends on the workplace.
If you do the absolute minimum required of you, you shouldn't be surprised if you get passed over for promotions and the like. Obviously it's up to you whether that's an acceptable trade-off.
At the same time nothing teaches you to not care like working above and beyond for the entire year only to be told there's no money for bonuses, no money for pay raises, but the managers still somehow found the budget to give themselves a nice bonus and pay raise.
When I worked full-time for other people I always figured that as long as flexibility went both ways it worked. If the company wanted me to come in early or stay late I was OK with that, as long as I didn't get grief on the few days when I needed to come in late and/or leave early. But if a manager gave me a hard time for coming in a bit late when the overall balance was that he owed me a lot of time, that was always a really good way to make sure I didn't start work early, didn't stay late and took exactly 60 minutes at lunchtime.
