Pros

In business school they have a tight budget so they don't fund you or offer scholarship but you could work as a graduate assistant while you are doing your graduate studies. Some professors will give you a lot of grading and other assignments depending on the professor.

Cons

Time consuming. Its a task to manage school assignments and meetings with the work load the professors will have for you. As a result of which you will be working throughout the week.

Pros

Can be pretty easy if most of your work is office hours. I had about seven hours a week and most of the time there weren't many students.

Cons

Grading was a lot harder than I expected. Pretty demoralizing honestly; a lot of clearly ChatGPT submissions (ECE programming class mostly with freshmen who'd never seen code before, so not surprising). Grading paper exams was fine.
