About a year ago I made the switch from Home office to office slave. Here are my thoughts on the matter...

Good:
I've lost a few pounds because my fridge is not walking distance from my desk anymore.

I get to meet, and talk with people everyday who did not come from build-a-bear. It's nice to have someone to share work issues with that also has a stake in the outcome.

Networking. I know more people who move on to other places and you never know when that might come in useful.

Bad:

Schedule. The self based flexible schedule is the best. Now I have to struggle every time the kids have an orthodontist appointment, sick visit, etc...

Added costs: Parking, gas, time on the road, business cloths, lunch out (which I do too much), etc..

Don't forget to update your car insurance. You should get a slight break if you drive to work since it means your car is sitting in a lot for 8 hours a day.
