I don't like stories that alter in POV unless it's absolutely clear whose POV it is- meaning, if it follows some pattern. Maybe it's every other chapter rotates between 2 people. If it's consistent, it can work well.
Also, there should be a good reason too. Don't just change POV for the heck of it. WHY do I want to read about the event from this POV? If you can't respond with a legitimate and compelling answer, don't alter the POV.
And I also don't like it when people SAY whose POV it is at the beginning of every chapter. In my mind, if you have to say whose POV it is at the beginning of the chapter, you're doing something wrong. The reader should be able to know without you saying "So-and-so's POV".
