Pros
I was working on a side-project of a professor. My manager was incredibly understanding of my position at the time-- college graduate who was having trouble finding work and needed to build his resume. She let me take on just about any responsibility or aspect of the project that I felt would be beneficial to my future work search. I eventually decided to attend graduate school, and I fully believe her recommendation was one of the key reasons I was accepted.
Cons
None. This was a rather informal relationship to start, but grew and developed steadily as we mutually found a good role for me in the project.
