What can I do with trainer levels?
I know I can only use the gym feature after hitting level 5, but are there any other privilege or rewards for the levels above 5?
For example, in Ingress, some items are only available for the higher level player. How about Pokemon Go?
Best Answer
Leveling up unlocks a very useful feature, Pokestop Submission. It was available only for level 40 players, but in late 2020 the required level was lowered to level 38!
Trainers who've reached level 38 can help grow the number of PokéStops in their community by nominating eligible objects and locations in Niantic Wayfarer.

You also have some in-game benefits.
As your level increases, you will discover more Pokémon and face Pokémon with stronger CP in the wild. You'll also get various perks and unlock new items.
Here's a nice table that summarizes the rewards through level 20:
UPDATE:
With Go Beyond update, level cap increased from the previous level 40 to level 50.
As well as meeting a certain threshold of XP, now you also need to complete certain challenges - named Level Up Research - in order to progress to the next level:
You can find further info and relative rewards on Serebii.

Does CP increase with trainer level?
The higher the level a Trainer is, the higher the CP of a Pok\xe9mon can be. Trainer can Power Up their Pok\xe9mon up to ten levels above current Trainer Level. Wild Pok\xe9mon caught will also have higher CP as the Trainer levels up. Once the Trainer has reached Level 30, the CP ceiling for wild Pok\xe9mon is capped at level 35.Does training Pokémon do anything?
Training raises a given Pokemon's CP, making it more effective in combat. To train a Pokemon you'll also need candies, which you also get by catching Pokemon.What do the trainers do in Pokémon?

Answer 2
Level 5: you can join teams and get to do gym battles.
Level 6: you can get a new type of Incubator with 3 uses, allowing us to incubate and hatch several eggs at the same time.
Level 8: you can get razzberries, which make the next ball you throw have an increased chance of cathing the pokemon.
I've not found any other information regarding leveling up, but I will update this as new information is presented.
Answer 3
Leveling up in Pokemon GO grants the player access to some new items depending on the level reached. In addition, Level 5 grants you the ability to battle at Gyms.
Leveling up also confers an item gift. It is also required in order to train stronger Pokemon, as a Pokemon's max CP is dependent upon the trainer's current level.
Known Unlocks:
Level 5: Potions and Revives
Level 8: Razz Berry
Level 10 (?): Super Potion
Level 12: Great Ball

Haven't leveled up more yet
Answer 5
At level 12, I started getting Great Balls (about 20 as part of the level up to 12 bundle, and now frequently from stores). At some point - about level 10 or so - I also started getting Super Potions.
I know that besides items getting unlocked like this, level ties in to the maximum potential of your Pokemon. The two pokes I've been trying to keep maxed out - a Golduck and a Golbat - both gain more room to grow with each level. Honestly hope there's a max trainer level sometime soon as my other pokes are getting neglected while I keep these two at the top (stardust required to level gets higher and higher as you power up).
Answer 6
At Level 38.5, you get the best possible Pokèmon in the community, as your Pokèmon will be Level 40. That is because that a Pokemon's Level is 1.5 more than the current trainers' Level. Source: Another of my posts
Answer 7
At 20 you get Ultra Balls by the way, and at 25 you get Max Potions
Answer 8
Something the others haven't mentioned yet: when you reach level 15, you'll get Hyper Potion. It heals 200 HP of a Pokemon when used.
