The pay is average enough for me to pay the bills, eat well, and buy stuff. The problem is I hate the work, I don't think it is going to advance me to the forefront of my field and I am also certain that I won't ever accumulate close to 1 million at this company. Plus I think the company culture sucks and is full of haters in the sense that they always blame others for something going wrong or can't be fixed. Sometimes I think I am crazy because I am seeing stuff that is being done so blatantly wrong yet no one tries to improve things. There doesn't seem to be a standard of excellence and achievement. I feel like I got a lot of great ideas but am not wiling to share it because:
1) haters feel threatened, think I'm dissing their work, will be pessimistic and say the project is too high risk no funds
2) I don't get anything except a 1 time bonus and maybe a pat on the back. Why share a potentially million dollar idea and have it split 1,000 different ways?
What should I do?

List both the negatives and positives of your job and weight them. Why are you working there?
I think the best job is one that you enjoy and would do for no money or one that may not be fulfilling but that offers amazing benefits that you need or want in your life.
If you're not happy, then leave. Your stress will be over. You will have opportunities to do what you really want and time to accomplish them.
And don't be scared of leaving, people only learn through challenges, not when the going is easy.

IT'S TIME TO GO! I'm almost in the same situation. Why not start your own business or venture out and look for something that truly makes you happy. It's not always about the money. Life is to dang short to live unhappy. Take care of self first and everything else will fall into place. Trust me, it took me six years to long to make a move. Yes, it's scary but this is a new year. Take care of you.

Seems pretty obvious to me - look for a different job.
If you go through three jobs and have the same experience, take a good honest look at yourself. But the first time, it really maybe is that bad.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, most people hate their jobs. If you are young enough to embark on a new career, one that you want, go for it. On your days off, you can go to school and learn about it or you can start your own business. I would suggest Health and Wellness.

Try looking around. That is the only way you can forget your uninspiring workplace.
There's always the right job for the right person.
Good luck.
