Pros

I was lucky enough to work with great professors that care a lot for their students. I was given the freedom to create my own syllabus for a few classes that I taught. I enjoy the opportunity to impact the way my students learned about the subject I am teaching. I remember being frustrated with TAs I had in the past so I made sure that when I became a TA I didn't make the same mistake as they did.

Cons

Many professor here are research oriented and they seem like they don't care too much about teaching students. Some of the stuff you lean here won't really matter in the real would unless you want to work in Academic setting. Some professors came be a little socially awkward and won't even say hi back when you pass them in the hall way. (might be a Engineering professor thing)

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits and outstanding supervisor within department. Really great city. College campus. Flexibility with hours and scheduling. Smart coworkers.

Cons

HIgher level administrators (deans mostly) had no idea what was going on on the ground. Summers are really really hot.

Pros

Very flexible depending on the Professor that is the instructor for the course, I have TAed lab and regular classes, just don't let the professor work you over the necessary hours.

Cons

Working with students and/or professors that are utterly dense. Be aware of what the professor says in class, by even going to class to ensure that you are both on the right page.
