Pros
None that I can think of, other than the recognition of the Fender name as a cocktail party conversation piece
Cons
Toxic management stifles creativity and innovation. Fender bought my division - Kaman Music Corp.- in 2009 and left it pretty much alone for four years. They then proceeded to plant all their Guitar Center cronies in management positions and thus began the meddling with a solid foundation that led to the crash and burn in 2013-14. They have subsequently sold the pieces ( for less than half of what they paid for it).
