Getting paid.
Like most minimal level jobs these days, being an ASSISTANT to a mangaka generally pays nothing, at best. Seeing the first chapter, working with the mangaka, getting experience, all that stuff is great; but if you're not paying your bills, it doesn't matter how much you like it, you won't be doing it for long.

Witnessing the mangaka at work. Definitely. If I were to be an assistant to a mangaka like Inoue Takehiko or Obata Takeshi I would work myself hard just to witness his techniques and processes first hand. It'd double as Gaining experience as an artist. I wouldn't mind the salary as long as I make enough for my basic expenses. And if I could contribute something to that art, even if its just something as little as borders, etc. I would be very happy.
