Saskatchewan didn't really have much choice so pros out weigh cons. It was either become a province or stay part of the Northwest territories.
There were those in Saskatchewan that did not want to be sold or transferred from HBC control to Canada and they did speak out, some openly rebelled. The military response from Canada made them an offer they could not refuse.
A big negative would be that Saskatchewan has put more into Confederation than they have gotten back. Canada believes Saskatchewan owes them everything, after all Canada created, owns, Saskatchewan. The down side of that has been many federal policies directed at the Prairie Provinces meant to transfer Western wealth east. This has been possible in part due to the lack of equal and effective representation in Confederation, another negative.
They could have stayed as part of the Northwest Territories but that would have meant even less representation and more exploitation.
