Pros

Great working for faculty if you have a strong relationship with them, becoming a TA will advance that relationship. This will help you learn more about a field you are interested in and make connections.

Cons

- Your experience depends on your professor. Some professors are great as in class professors, but working for them has challenges. - You typically work more than what your contract states because these contracts are not designed by your department but rather the Graduate School Admin. (i.e. my TA contract stated I was working 4 hrs per week, but when factoring in in class time and outside class work I was working about 7 hr per week)

Pros

Flexible hours. Pick up shifts you want

Cons

It's a learn-as-you-go job, so it's a bit difficult at the start, but easy enough to pick stuff up over time.
