Pros
When I walk into the office in the morning, I feel calm and welcome. I know what I have to do, and if I don't, there are 3 people I can call to find out. Everyone is clear about what they need and when they need it, but they still listen when I tell them what it will take to meet those goals.
Cons
Though we have a bicoastal staff meeting every morning, there isn't a whole lot of collaboration yet between the employees in different roles. This sometimes leads to effort duplication, and sometimes it leads to contradictory requests being given to one or more employees. While the lack of direct oversight makes me feel trusted, it also lets some important questions remain unanswered for hours or days, when those answers are key to completing tasks.
