What are the disadvantages of working at home?

There are many disadvantages when working at home, or most commonly known as a 'freelancer's pet peeves.' These are:

1. Isolation

2. Record Keeping for taxes

3. Collecting Payments

4. No guarantee of a stable income

5. Home distractions

6. Lack of employment benefits

7. Lack of motivation

8. Being your own HR, marketing, management, and PR department

There are many plus points in working at an office as compared to working from home. The environment in an office is much more professional and work friendly. There is a certain degree of professionalism in an office which is hard to achieve at home. Supervision and guidance of seniors are comparatively easier to avail at an office than home. Your superiors can tell you when you are going wrong with a project mid way; when working from home such step by step guidance may not be available.
