It depends upon management. With the proper controls in place, flex time is a very valuable perk that employees will use to their advantage (which is what employees do with all compensation). Companies that offer this are likely to attract more employees.

However, lack of oversight will lead to abuse. When abuse is tolerated discipline is sacrificed. Like anything else, if expectations aren't set from the beginning and then managed over time, good results are unlikely.
