Pros
Drupal is a stable, well built Content Management System that allows users to enjoy the website. It's regularly maintained and updated. That's what makes it a reliable tool for creating websites.
Drupal works with thousands of themes that could be customized according to your requirements. Also, layout of pages could be changed without any problems.
Drupal handles users' roles and permission assignment without any problems and allows administrators configure them at any point. Creating, changing and deleting users' accounts is a pleasant and easy to handle process.

The only thing I would recommend is more control on custom modules. The problem with those is bugs that are not addressed sometimes.
