Well they all have their ups and downs. I loved my old restaurant to literally, the end. I loved owning my own place. Second would be working insurance. I had the coolest boss ever. However, I got paid very very little.
The worst would have to be a restaurant where the owner was a sexist man, totally slimy and a few other choice words I have for him. I quit after 3 months. Other than that, detasseling corn. Hot, muddy, snakes, bugs, corn cuts, and that was when I was 15 and my first job. But $5 an hour was really good back then.

Worst job was as a temp photocopying student loan forms at a bank on a copier without a feeder one sheet at at time (it was only 16 years ago and they did make copiers with feeders at the time...the supervisor was too cheap to invest in one and seemed to think it was cheaper to pay someone to copy one sheet at a time than install a new copier and have the existing employees actually work for a change and make their own copies). Worse yet, since a key was needed to go to the bathroom and I was a temp, they would not issue me one and I had to ask the boss to borrow a key if I needed to go. It was like demeaning and like being in grade school. Even worst yet, the staff was lazy and spent most of the day on their personal business on company time and dump their work on the temps (I was not surprized to see this division sold off 6 months later because it was not cost effective). I complained to the temp agency and was replaced a two weeks later.

I had a terrible job waitressing in college. The owners had converted the downstairs of an old farmhouse to a cute little restaurant, or so I thought. The food was very eclectic/new age, and we had very few customers, so I hardly made any money at all. To make matters worse, they played this one Enya CD over and over all day, everyday. One day, the police came in, and wanted to have a look around upstairs. Apparently, the restaurant was a front for a "massage" (*wink*wink) parlor they were running upstairs at night when everyone was gone. The owners were arrested and myself and two other waitresses were questioned for hours, to make sure that we knew nothing of what was going on. It was awful!

I have a job which is all in on...it's bad and goos at the same time. Today for example it couldn't go worst. I just hate it and as youcan see I am doing something else. It's a sedentary job mostly and I don't enjoy it so much. Of couse it has also good aspects when I have to meet clients, to talk to them to translete...but when I just get to stay in the office all day long...i just hate it...and even if I have something to do, I am not keen on doing it because it's just boring...boring boring and boring again!

i know it may sound like a downgrade from manager to just a receptionist but its less stressful and with little responsibility and i have time to do homework @ work and study for tests, also my boss is super cool if i need to leave early she doesn't give me hell about it or discount it from my check

Worst job, the one I'm doing now. Call center, barely above minimum wage, many restrictions.
Best job, the one I had nine months ago. IT security, lots of freedom, respected opinions, great pay.

The best job I have ever had is when I went to work for myself. My boss (me) is GREAT. Such a wonderful, thoughtful person. Truly a delight. She lets me have any day off, work the hours I want, and I get paid just what I deserve!
