Pros

• familiar form of communication, facilitates verbal cues
• useful for solving conflicts

Cons

• difficult to organize and hold a conversation with more than two people at a time.
• multiple distant callers lack visual cues from other speakers

Notes
Technologies exist that allow speaker phones and conference calls. If you are a distance caller to a group meeting, be mindful to not interrupt the meeting repeatedly requesting clarification.
