Advantage: non-whatsoever

Disadvantage: You'll be routing your vpn traffic through routers
controlled by other people, who include a handful of University computer
science departments and even the NSA, who will all be given the first
chance to sniff all your traffic for passwords and what not.

It should go without saying, this is not at all what TOR is designed for.
