1: Low pay. You actually make half of your hourly rate, since you only get paid for half of your work time. less if you are a commuter.
2: Gone alot.
3: Constant war with scheduling.
4: Infinite responsibility. Everything is your fault.
5: Commuting sucks.
6: No jobsecurity.
There are positives too though.
