One downside you may see is that you will not get any type of pay 
increase for a while.

Typically, salaried employees are paid more than an hourly 
employees for commensurate work and value to the company. The 
reasoning is that the salaried employee is expected to put in more 
hours when the job calls for it; therefore, s/he gets higher 
compensation in anticipation of these additional hours. 

An employer, especially a new employer, may use this as 
justification to not give you a salary increase in the future (or you 
even see a *decrease* in salary).
