Manage automatic creation of direct reports group

Since we are in the process of rolling out Office 365, we have turned off Group creation by staff until we get some educational/policy work done.  If we do turn on Group creation by staff, I will be disabling this feature.  Although it seems like a nice convenient way to auto create groups for managers, many of our managers have their direct reports separated into specific teams they work with.  Adding another group for all will just add to the clutter and confusion. 

The other factor is maintenance.  We already have a tough time monitoring staff changes.  This would just add to it unless it's set up to dynamically change when updates are done to AD.  Since we don't have AD premium, I am guessing that won't be happening.
