Is it right to take on more work, train for a new position, without any extra compensation for 6 months?

I've been at my job for 12 years. I feel as if I am already under paid and over worked.

I asked at the beginning of this year if that promotion was still on the table, they said yes, I'm starting to train for it, and yet I'm expected to do this for free until our regular review time. I'm not sure how to feel about this. The problem is every single time anyone brings up compensation to my boss he flips out and points out every wrong you…

I'm not sure how to feel about this. The problem is every single time anyone brings up compensation to my boss he flips out and points out every wrong you are doing and tells you it's a favor from the company to give you a new title, or something absurd like that.
