some advantages....FUN….and a simpler and purer form of riding with more of a connection between body, bike and road. It can make you a stronger climber on hills and a better high cadence peddler from going downhill. Coming off the bike by having the pedal move you up then moving backwards off the saddle as you stop is coolnessSelecting the right gear choice for the terrain you'll ride in can help for a more efficient ride.
some disadvantages...possibly just the learning to ride a fixed gear, doesn't let you bail out on a hill using gears (not a disadvantage for me though), striking your pedal on the ground while cornering tightly and having a loose chain that can come off.
