Pros

Only have to spend 2 hours/week for office hours. Generally not a hard work, but it depends on the course and professor.

Cons

Not too much salary. Workload may burst after homework/exams, and mostly professor will give you a deadline to grade the homework/exams. The deadline may conflict with your own projects deadline.
