Pros

Opportunity to travel for the business. Needs of the business dictated travel (approved by management) to Asia and Europe. Some time available for sightseeing.

Cons

Very difficult to impossible to work collaboratively / cross-functionally. Most employees were only willing to work as a team when it was absolutely necesssary.
