Pros

Benifits, Challenges, ability to create your own solutions. Manager allows you to creativly solve your problems and steps in when you need assistance. You are treated with respect. You can be blunt and honest. Everyone has a seat at the table when you are working on a project. Mistakes are seen as learning opportunities and not held against you (as long as you dont make the same one 2x.)

Cons

Lots of Stress/pressure. Tight deatlines. Cross-group communicaiton breakdowns sometimes.
