an advantage - simple demonstration of wave interference effects such as two slip interference pattern
a drawback - harder to explain discrete events such as Einstein photoelectric effect.

The wave theory also does not sccount for spontaneous emission and induced emission (which are needed to explain gaseous emission and laser amplification). The wave theory also cannot explain "shot noise" in light measurements, which is caused by statistcal fluctuations in photon counting.
