At one time I would of said it could open up a back door to your work network if I could get a program on your PC (email, windows security flaw, etc) I could route a connection through your PC and get to your work network (I think this happened to Microsoft) but now if I could get that program on your PC I am not so sure I would not just have it log your key storks and send any files I needed to access the VPN and find a wireless access point and go that way.

You still might be concerned that if someone was on the VPN and checked their personnel email they could set a worm loose. Of course they could have a worm and then connect also. With security it all comes done to how you feel and what you think might happen and how you can prevent it from happening.
