 Con: You are not on-site for in-office perks.

You can't swing by the break room and grab a doughnut from the box or hit the company gym if you're working from home. This may be more of a disadvantage for workers in industries such as tech, with impressive on-site offerings like game rooms and chef-made food, but if there's a perk you like about being in the office, then working from home may make you miss it.

Weighing the pros and cons of working from home has become even more important in the wake of the pandemic, since many companies are now giving their employees the option to not come back into the office. If you are given the choice to consider working from home permanently, be sure to think through each of the pros and cons of working from home to land on a solution that matches your priorities.

Understanding the reasons to work from home – as well as the reasons not to – can go a long way in learning how to work from home successfully.

  Pro: More flexibility to take care of appointments and errands. One of the hardest things about committing to a 9-to-5 desk job is that it prevents you from being able to handle almost anything else that comes up in your life, whether attending a routine dentist appointment or picking a sick kid up from school. When you work from home, while you still have to meet your deadlines and be available when you say you will be, you generally have wider bandwidth to tend to other responsibilities without jeopardizing your job.
