2-3 classes a week is fine for most jobs ( if going home before 6 regularly is acceptable then you will be fine ).
4 is pushing it but not so bad for a semester or 2. That being said, there is next to no benefit to rushing your MBA so unless you have some kind of scheduling conflict I wouldn’t take more than the minimum required to graduate on time.
I take it you already have a BComm? Despite work wanting to pay for it I would ask yourself what you intend to get out of the program (aside from letters) because a vanilla MBA doesn't really teach you much you didn’t already learn in undergrad. In an “accelerated” program you also essentially miss out on the whole cohort concept, you won’t take enough courses with many to get to know them and form those “connections” people talk about. I think I have beaten this to death in the thread already though.
