Benefits from having Facebook page

It depends how you are using your facebook. If you don't want the world to know about, you shouldn't post it on facebook. The disadvantage you list could be eliminated simply by not posting or behaving in a way that would reflect you in a negative light to employers. Or, you could keep your facebook private and not allow none friends to view, if an employer requests an add simply do a "employer friendly" clean up and delete anything you think may affect your job or chances at a job. Then I see no disadvantages, and the network possibilities are clearly the advantage. In my opinion the benefit can outweigh the cons but just like with everything else in life it's all in how you use it.

I have a personal and business account on facebook. In my business account, I made a fanpage for my website so that I can easily attract my target leads for my business.

I keep my profile clean from outside sources; you get to see my name and a single picture if you search for me outside my friend list. I've just never been a big fan of the public having access to all of my personal information, and that whole "big brother" phenomenon just creeps me out to no end.
