What's the difference between a weekend MBA and full time MBA?

My plan is to do an MBA at the University of Michigan, but I'm not sure which one would be more beneficial for me. I'm leaning more towards the weekend since I could work full time to save money and take classes at the same time. Which would you recommend for me?

So I work as an accountant/auditor at a small firm in Michigan. My goal is to use my background in accounting along with the management background I would have gained through the MBA to transition into a corporate finance position (such as a senior financial analyst) at a F500 company. What's the difference between the weekend and the full time MBA, and which would be more aligned with my goals? Does a weekend MBA student still get the same job prospects as a full time student upon graduation?
