Pros

Everything - I loved working for Schwab until the RTO email was sent out.

Cons

I have been fully remote for several years since being hired. I never had any intention of having to drive into an office and work in a cubicle. That was always the expectation set through discussions with managers and executive emails. Out of nowhere, every employee received an email stating that we had to return to the office. I'm hours away from the nearest office. I have ADHD and cubicles are too distracting. I'm unproductive in office environments which is why I took this position remote. Untill yesterday I planned to be at Schwab for a long time, but this changes everything. To say I'm livid is an understatement.

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
