Pros

if you can handle the program, you get lots of benefits basically getting paid to study many helpful instructors

Cons

need a really strong work ethic and talent to pass the final stages of the program, not suitable for everyone, fast paced, need to put in more time after classes to study, negative reinforcement style teaching during simulation problems (not for everyone) need to relocate
