Sounds like a homework question, doesn't it?

If your instructor requires APA formatting, the advantage is that you are
following instructions; you will also be using the formatting that is
required by APA publications.

Given that the intent of the question was totally vague and given that, as
you said, it sounded like a homework question...

I didn't mention that the primary disadvantage for me is that, after 40+
years of using "Chicago" style, I find APA style a real bitch.
