Great questions.
You will not have to travel, generally. You just need to come to work at the office you're hired in. In a bigger jurisdiction, you may be assigned to a satellite office that requires you to commute a bit.
Prosecution is pretty heavy in terms of caseload, however it gets a little better after a few years. I work about 50-60 hours a week.
I have the option to prepare cases from home, but generally, you should be putting in office time. Also, all your investigatory tools are in the office as well!

Hello,
No, you will not have a travel working as a location prosecutor. You are only limited to where you want to work and where you are licensed. I work 50-60 hours per week and I am able to work at home and prepare for cases but when I have court I have to be there.
