Cons: ... the transition to glass on the flightdeck is more difficult
Why? The tricky thing about glass is the actual operation of the system, not the interpretation of the data and flying by it. The operation is different depending on the system, so I am not convinced that learning to use a Garmin 1000 is a particular help when you get into a Proline cockpit.

As for pilot workload being high, that is the main advantage to the potential employer. We know the pilot can cope with that workload, which will be experienced at some point.
