Pros
-Many talented coworkers -Challenging work -Free mug/snacks for first week being mandated back into office (sarcasm)
Cons
-Talented coworkers leaving the bank due to recent changes causing strain on those who remain. -Too much work, not enough people to do it. -Mandating return to office, very specific rules (must work at least 3 day/8hrs in office, monitoring of badge swipes, unless 30 miles away, no consideration for long commutes in metro areas, an employee on the same team with same job 29 miles away must go in but other 30 miles away can be remote) -Removed annual bonus in exchange for a base pay increase at a smaller percent. -Difficult to advance, lack of support from upper management -General low morale and a sense that employees are just a number. -Forcing a "culture" and packaging things as flexible and beneficial to employees that clearly are not.
