Vice president
Pros: Work with bright, hard working people
Cons: Senior management is taking away regularly scheduled WFH days unless you can prove a hardship or special circumstances. Corporate hubs are moving to "choice seating" which essentially means you no longer have an assigned desk. Each morning you are required to come in and find a seat by logging into a system. You have an extremely small locker where you must go to pick up any personal items you'd like to bring to your desk for the day.  At the end of the day, you log out and put your belongings back in your little locker. Teams are no longer guaranteed to sit together. You may not even be guaranteed a seat when you come in, in which case you have to work with an Admin to help you find a seat somewhere. By the time you actually sit down, it can be a half hour later.  There is a general feeling of frustration and discontent in the office with these changes. There are extremely intelligent and seasoned employees working in this type of environment and quite frankly insulting how we are being treated.
