Pros

Students get paid easily and also receive tuition waiver. Tuition is tons of money for out-of-state student. Therefore, it it very worth to take the TA position. Also, it is also pretty interesting to answer questions.

Cons

The workload is absolutely not small. You may expect the workload is equal to or even heavier than you actually taking a course.
