Pros

Probably one of the better GTA jobs on campus, in terms of pay. If you like teaching, you certainly will get to do that. Some of the courses give you a lot of leeway in terms of how you present material, which is another GTA rarity. At its best, this assistantship can be really rewarding. At its worst...

Cons

Too much teaching load, some poor course organization, course reputations mean you may have lost the battle before you meet students. The course materials seem all over the place sometimes, and different people seem to have different ideas about why the courses exist and what should be taught.
