Pros and Cons

Hi,

Just wondering if "pros and cons" is formal or colloquial?

Can I use it in formal business letter or English composition exam?

Thanks.

It is informal. It might appear in a business letter (which can sometimes be quite informal) but I would avoid it in a composition in favor of e.g., 'advantages and disadvantages'.
