I tend to like working alone better. Then I can get my own system and work at my own pace. But my current coworker is great to work with; we make a good team, and he has a funny sense of humor which makes the day go by faster.

I would be okay doing both, but I have a preference for working alone.

If I could find a job where I had my own cubicle to quietly do my work, it would be heavenly :)

I was asked this question in a job interview.  I think the woman got mad because all I would say is I can do either one.  I am thinking I cannot tell you the truth.  I hate people and would prefer to work alone where I do not deal with people at all.  BUT since the job was in customer service...

I told her I have done both and liked both.

I've done both.  I've worked with others and by myself.

I like the company of others, but, I prefer to work by myself.

I like working by myself best. I have really bad anxiety, especially when I am around a lot of people, so that's the main reason. I also feel like I get more done and there is less drama when I work alone. I work at a resturant and their is always so much drama it makes me feel like I am in high school.

I love working by myself most of the time. I am more of an attention-to-detail individual, and I feel that things will be done to standard (or above the standard) if I do it alone.

I enjoy working both ways. 

I work with others at a residential group home as well as by myself.  I also work by myself listing items on eBay.

Both have advantages.

I definitely prefer working alone. I have owned several businesses over the years and have enjoyed the freedom. I have had a number of jobs as well but tend to think the boss is an idiot.
