The ability to fill in missing gaps in our team's skill set, having people from all over who can come together as one unit for any given project or event that we need them too - whether it be helping with marketing/marketing materials, assisting us at events like tradeshows etc. There are no downsides I have found so far! It has been great working with this team thus far; they're very easy going which makes things go smoother when you don't know exactly what each person will bring to your table (i'm looking at YOU!). They've also helped create several new projects within my department since joining.
