Not able to get raise due to being a “temporary employee”

Halfway through December I had found a job after being unemployed for around a month. This was the only company that had responded to my dozens of applications during that time.

Halfway through December I had found a job after being unemployed for around a month. This was the only company that had responded to my dozens of applications during that time. I first came on working PT as I was in school and they closed around 6pm. I was getting maybe 12-15 hours per week at a rate of $13 an hour.

Roughly 2.5 months ago I had asked for a raise and was told that it wouldn't be and benefit from it since I was a temporary employee. I am joining the USAF over the summer and found the denial acceptable under those terms.

Fast forward to now, I have since graduated and have been putting 37-42 hours in roughly per week. Keep in mind I am still at the same rate of $13 an hour. Recently I had asked for another raise, mentioning my transition into FT and they understood. They had not guaranteed anything since I have had that talk.

My management is very laid back when it comes to operations just to add. Unlike other management I see on this subreddit, they care for all of their employees. This is one of the only drawbacks I have with them.

I need help as this is slightly conflicting. Thanks
