Pros

I like the work and the people I work with. Full-time is great.

Cons

Hard to get pay rase. The work load is over whelming. I have been told you must not want to keep your full-time; or If You don't come in you will go back to part time. Management talks down to you. Makes you chose between family and work. We do every thing asked of us and it's still not good enough.
