The big benefits of a preprint are that you obtain a quick credit about the work done and also obtain a citable source for your research. Nowadays even the NIH accept to cite preprints on their grant applications (see: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/nih-enables-investigators-include-draft-preprints-grant-proposals). The second advantage is the immediate feedback that you can receive from the scientific community. A submitted article will be review by two or three experts in the field but a preprint can be read and discussed by anyone in the world with access to a computer. This feedback is usually public and promotes the debate about the data and the ideas published in the preprint. Finally, it gains a lot of visibility without waiting for the usually long time that takes to publish in an indexed journal. This allows you to promote your research easily and also obtain some citations since the first moment that the preprint is out on the web.
