Pros

Your experience will vary depending on the people you work with, but they will often understand you have your own schedules and may be flexible with you. Great if you can stay long term to gain experience and more responsibilities. May make connections with faculty and graduate students. Great for graduate school apps.

Cons

It may get more repetitive than you realize. Hours can vary on the week. Some professors or graduate students can be more demanding that others, so know their background. You won't always get a paid position either.

Commuter school so traffic and parking can be terrible. Select your PI wisely, and ensure healthy work life balance.
