Pros

I have a small number confidants. During the pandemic I've been able to work from home saving time in the car and was able to truly work a flexible schedule. I have really enjoyed that. That is going away now so my experience will change. It's difficult to list a lot of pros when there are so many changes that haven't gone smoothly and I don't want to be one of the 'back in the good 'ol days' people.

Cons

Overall buy in in the strategy is spotty. It's treated more like a flash in the pan approach vs what truly drives the business. There have been a lot of reductions in force but the work hasn't changed drastically. You are expected to get it done regardless of your other duties. In my case that meant starting from scratch many times because no one was there to help and previous processes weren't documented. I'm also in a situation where my boss has the tendency of taking stress out on me. Alliant Energy is not an environment where many feel safe to speak up. We say it is - but survey results/participation prove otherwise.
