Cons of remote working:

• 1-Prefer 2 distinct locations in life — 1 for work, 1 for everything else
• 2-Being able to manage the group of employees in one location is preferable — Meetings, training, management of teams and personalities has been easier.
• 3-Confidentiality and Security — depending on the nature of the business, being able to lessen liabilities by containing the work location
• 4-Social community — Many fully enjoy the traditional work community and build life long connections
• 5-Love — A quick Google search shows various sources that cite anywhere from 20-33 percent of people met their spouse through work. What will those stats look like in a year or two from now?
• 6-Road Warriors with great sound systems in their cars — Some enjoy the commute to unwind after work cranking tunes or catch up with friends and family waiting for the gridlock to ease. Others to continue working from the car.

Pros of remote working:

• 1-The overhead costs — Keeping large commercial real estate holdings and related maintenance costs
• 2-Killer commutes — 5-20 hours/week per employee in lost time now potentially used for other purposes
• 3-Daily Daycare Scramble — Racing to drop them off or pick them up each day
• 4-Environmentally, a lower carbon footprint — Less traffic, less pollution
• 5-Quality Family time — Many parents are spending more time with their growing children
