Pros


Pro Rolling release
The distribution is continually updated, so there's no need to install OS upgrades by hand.

Pro Stable
PCLinuxOS is designed around stability.

Pro Multiple desktops available
Mate, LXDE, and KDE desktops are available.

Pro Can remaster the boot DVD
PCLinuxOS has built in tools for remastering bootable DVD into a copy of current install.

Cons
Con Installation fails most of the time, error messages, and hard to go to full screen in virtual box

Con Uses RPM packaging system
Uses the RPM packaging system with APT, rather than the more popular DEB packages.
