You get the benefit of being able to add another subnet to single router
interface. Such as:
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip address 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
A drawback is that nodes connecting to that interface that are on the
different IP subnets would need to bounce off the router to talk. A better
solution for this would be to change your subnet mask to 10.1.1.1
255.255.254.0. Sometimes this is not possible in the short term if the
addressing is not contiguous.
