Without additional work on your company's part, you are right. There are mobile management solutions though that give companies a fair degree of flexibility in creating policies to restrict and monitor the phone in various ways, but that software or MDM file would have to be deployed to your phone.
Also, if you're connecting to an Exchange based system, there are a limited number of policies, including remote wipe, that can be managed via Exchange, although no monitoring. Your company's IT department can do a few things like enforce a passcode, mandatory lock after X minutes, etc.
Short answer - don't worry
