Personally I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages but to answer your question.
Any intellectually challenging job will be a distraction from study (this was the case for me)
Pressure to work when you should study, as some bosses want you there when they need you (this has also happenned to me)
Lack of time to study or to just relax
Bad and boring part-time work can give you the wrong attitude to work, disadvantaging you when you get your first real job.
Other than that, I think that work creates a discipline and a routine, gives you money, trains you with work skills, social skills, puts you into a broader social network and keeps you away from activities like drinking, drinking and eating pizza while drinking.

It can be quite stressful. I'm not sure if you're talking about high school or college. I think it's easier to work during high school because your work load is not usually so intense as college courses. But then again, it's nice to have the spending cash and a lot of times you need the extra income in college. You'll have to be good about time management and juggle several things at once but it can be done. Usually a campus work study program is a good way to go because they are most times flexible with your schedule if you have an exam or something you need to get done.

Depending on what you do, the demands of your job may interfere with the time you need to do homework and/or have a social life. However, most students hold down at least one part-time job while in school (I had three at one point plus a full class load.) It can definitely be done.
I notice you didn't ask about the advantages, which are extra $$, and perhaps gaining work experienceand contacts that would be relevant to your chosen field of study.

Less time to study. I was told by my grandfather (who was a doctor) to treat school like a full time job, and then you will get straight A's. I worked to get through college and my cumulative GPA was about 2.9 which is not high enough to get into the graduate program I want to enter. If you can work in the field you want your career to be in you will be way ahead when you graduate.
