Pros

tuition and fees are covered as part of this role, hours are flexible, generally supervisors are willing to mold job to the student's interests

Cons

UMass is full of bureaucracy thus you need to be prepared to deal with that (at least in some roles); some departments take on GAs when they really don't have enough work for them
