Working at home, also known as telecommuting, is a way for people to perform their job at a place other than a central office.

Pros
Working from home can be beneficial to an employee. Without having to drive to work, a person can save money they would have spent on gas for their car. This also helps the environment by cutting down on pollution. Working from home is convenient for those with disabilities, as well as parents who have to take care of small children. Many people prefer to work from the comfort of their own home as opposed to a central office building.ETO: Telework (Telecommuting): the Benefits - and some Issues!Cons
Working from home can also have drawbacks for both the employee and the employer. People that work from home may find that they are doing more work than they would at an office. They also must deal with distractions that would likely not be found in an office environment. Telecommuters can develop a sense of alienation due to the fact that they are not interacting with other employees. In addition, companies that hire telecommuters have limited supervision over them and may experience drops in productivity.ETO: Telework (Telecommuting): the Benefits - and some Issues!-
