The preference for working online or on-site solely depends on the individual; every human was created the same, but what makes us different is the choices and decisions we make in certain circumstances and our preferences. Some persons thrive more working from home while others don't.
Luckily, I have been privileged to experience both, so I'm gonna share my experience. Before my service year elapsed I was opportune to work an online job. Woke up one morning and my friend called that she heard about a job opening but it's remote, I didn't complain about it, I just accepted, she sent me the contact of the person who told her about the job and I called and that was how one conversation led to other, and I was told the interview was scheduled for the following day.
I prepared for the interview, and finally, the following day came, and the interview was done; guess what? I got the role of "customer care agent." It was my very first online job. I didn't know how it worked, but then I was trained by the human resource Manager for two weeks and fully resumed the role. My resumption time was 9am, my working hours were very conducive, and I had a two-hour break to rest and get some stuff done for myself before continuing for the day again. So I had a lot of time to myself from the comfort of my home.
Working in a remote environment has its advantages, which include the creation of a better work-life balance, that feeling of working from the comfort of your home with a lot of relaxation, and sometimes it can be stressful because all job is accompanied by stress. But then, during the break, I have two hours to relax, rewind, and unwind, step out to get something, or I can even sleep for an hour and feel refreshed before returning to work.
Talking about on-site where you get faced with other employees of the organization, where you'd be faced with different personalities and how to handle those personalities thereby leading to creating a conducive environment for yourself.
Currently, I'm working an on-site job, and I know what I've been experiencing so far, from my boss down to the other staff; every day, I try my best not to engage in conversations that will lead to me being disrespectful to others in any way. I learn how to keep to my lane and embrace peace.
Sometimes, in an on-site job, bosses often shout and discipline their staff in ways that aren't right, thereby leading staff to resign from their current positions. I've seen someone resign because of maltreatment from her boss.
Working on-site has its advantages, and one is the interpersonal relationship I get to create in my work environment. On-site, jobs revolve around certain daily routines, except you wanna be creative and add some things to your table.
My preference: I would always choose an online job over an on-site one because of the benefits that accompany it.
