Pros

Cons
Con Replaces some adverts with their own adverts
Instead of performing the apps core function, of hiding advertisements, it is no selling ads in order to use them as replacements for more annoying ones. More details here.
Con Sells whitelisting position to advertisers
This "feature" is "opted" in by default: untrustworthy, opposite of adblocking philosophy. See also: https://eyeo.com/.
Con Uses too much RAM
AdBlock+ tends to use a lot of memory, which has been documented in many use cases as well as admitted by AdBlock themselves. Considering there are alternatives out there that can block ads successfully with half the RAM usage as AdBlock, one has to wonder why this is a problem specific to AdBlock.
