Pros
Flexability, less dry cleaning bills, interesting clients, vast array of people to work with. In the summer, I don't work every afternoon until I've taken a long swim. I work again at night, once the family is tucked in. If I want a day off during the week, I can make up hours any time in that pay week. I even went out of state to stay with my mom who was sick, our IT department allowed me to download my clients to my encrypted laptop and I could take it to Florida and work down there, while my mom slept, so I didn't need to lose any time. It made my life so much easier. The people are tremendous to work with! Such a vast resource of skill sets and experience and we really do all help each other.
Kontras
Although we deal with people on line and on the phone, I do miss the interaction of the hospital setting. Do I miss my commute? Do I miss traveling in the snow? Do I miss not being able to make an appointment during 'work hours'....Absolutely not.
