[LongLiveRafiki]

USMC Maintenance Analyst- 8/10. People and experiences couldn't be beat, but a lot of things are completely FUBAR.
Home Repair Independent Contractor- 6/10. Pay was pretty good, but work was too inconsistent.
Server-7/10. Great job when I was 17. Shift work wouldn't be so great with a family.
Cashier at a Clothing Store- 5/10. Only worked there 3 weeks. We had one customer. Seriously.
Tutor- 7/10. Nothing memorable.
Laborer on Tree Farm/Nursery- 4/10. Pulling clovers out of tree beds all day in the summer, need I say more?
Stay at home mom-9/10. Hey, that means I only think about ditching them on iasw 10% of my day .

 

[scoutie]

Waitressing: 6/10 (fast money, fast paced, flexible, fun people....but Couod be really stressful, and dealing with the public could be irritating. It’s been fifteen years since i was a server, but I still have stress dreams anout it).
Data-entry: 0/10 (mindnumbingly boring. I lasted one week).
Teaching: definitely depends on the day. Sometimes 9/10, other times 3/10. If I have support, freedom and no micromanagement, it is definitely 9/10. When upper admin tries to control everything, things slide doWn quickly.

Warranty Manager 1/10 (the work itself is a horror show but the company is a solid 8/10)

 

[verleniahall]

Second family - 4/10 - just a bad situation

Wagon Wheel (hamburger and lime aids) 6/10 - I was fired because I had to leave early for a school function, and then a study group for finals - even when I had told the boss I could work those dates, she scheduled me anyway - it was good timing for everyone in the end

Public Housing (36 years) 10/10 the fact I could get a full retirement after 30 year and Im still there, tells you how nice this ride has been , but soon Im gonna retire and work part time somewhere to keep me sexy

 

[tvguy]

Well, to be honest, depending on who the managers were, every job I had went through a period of being a 10, and a period of being a 0, and every step in between.
But, I am unusual. I work in an industry were the average employee stays 2 to 3 years. I have never been in a job less than 12 years, I'm not sure I can count all the different managers I have worked for. And in the case of my last job, we had 6 different corporations own us, and each corporation brought with it good and bad things.
First job 12 years
Second job 16 years
Current job 12 1/2 years.

 

[knkmom]

[superme80]

Well let’s see—first fast food job was for my grandparents. 10/10. It was a lot of fun for a summer job. It was a drive in, like Sonic but we had to go to the cars to take the orders. Had an out door jukebox that stayed on in the summer. It was loud and active and perfect for a teenager.

Fast food at a burger chain—6/10. Fun group of people. Horrible manager

Waitress. 6/10. Made good money. Hated the hours

Teacher’s Assistant. 6/10. Horrible money. Liked the hours. Loved the kids

Child care director. 10/10. Loved the work. Long hours as part owner. Perfect job for when my kids were small.

Community college (started as dept secretary, A/R clerk, Secretary to VP and now Admissions Specialist) 10/10. Like the people I work for and with. Love the hours and the time off. Pay isn’t the greatest but terrific benefits.

Babysitting (HS): 9/10: I enjoyed kids, it was all on my schedule, take a job or not, and the money was good.
Carpet Cleaning (college summers): 7/10: Hard manual labor, but the money was very good, I lost 10 pounds every summer, and the co-workers were all nice.
Journalism Computer Lab at College: 7/10. Boring, but I could do my homework on the job. I just helped out with technical glitches or questions from students. The pay was just fair.
University Newspaper: 6/10. I got to pick my stories, so pretty easy, but they paid by the story not the hour and the pay sucked.
Daily Newspaper: 6/10. I got the police beat and all the weekends. It was super stressful and I hated it. The only plus were my co-workers were nice. I only lasted a couple years.
Licensed Home Day Care: 8/10. I liked the work. Kids are fun. I chose which families I admitted, so had very little drama. And I could be at home with my own kids. A win-win. The pay was fair-good, but no benefits, and I couldn't take off on sudden notice, every break had to be pre-planned well in advance.
Group Home (while in nursing school): 9/10. Loved this job. I basically ran the house with four clients with varying mental and physical disorders. Very few issues. Nice boss. Some co-workers made be roll my eyes, but I was the night-shifter, so I didn't have to deal with them except at hand-offs or the occasional weekend day-shift. I could get all my school work done at work, which was a huge bonus since I still wanted a little time for my family.
CNA (while in nursing school): 7/10. Backbreaking, fast-moving, stressful at times. Crap pay, but I was "getting my foot in the door" for a nursing position, so I considered it worthwhile for the short term.
RN, Surgical Floor: 8/10. Fast-paced, back-breaking and stressful at times. Surgeons can be 'difficult,' but my co-workers rocked. Pay and benefits good. The primary drawback were the 12 hour shifts and every other weekend schedule.
RN, Hospice: 9/10. I'm sure this sounds crazy, but I really do enjoy this job. I like helping people, and this job makes me feel good about what I do. The hours are very good (a regular 40-hour week, one weekend on-call every six weeks, and three on-call nights a month). A slower pace than floor nursing and not as back-breaking. Also, this is an home-based agency. I love that I deal with one patient at a time and can basically spend as much time as I feel necessary, without a call light or alarm dragging me off to another patient in another room.

Hospice nurses are a blessing straight from heaven.

Bar tending on a boat 9/10 - the tips are amazing, being out on the water every night? So much fun!
Naturalist on a Whale Watch 10/10 - no tips, but being out on the water all day? Getting paid to talk about whales? Awesome!
Science lab aide at a high school 10/10 - best job ever, lots of fun, great benefits.
High school tutor 10/10 - nothing beats helping kids become the best people they can be.
Silk screen factory 8/10 - met my husband there, worked with family. Only downside was exposure to toxic chemicals from time to time.
Camp Nature Director 2/10 - the camp director was a dirty old man, lusting after the high school female counselors. Some of the counselors were obnoxious, no structure, no direction for the most part. It was the worst job I've ever had.

 

[Lilacs4Me]

I've had too many jobs to list them all here, so I'll do the highs and lows:

BEST JOBS:
1st job when I was 16: bussing tables at a family-owned Italian restaurant 8/10. There was a dishwasher there that liked me, so we spent most of that year doing some serious flirting with each other. It made the rest of the job more fun. Plus we were paid $4.25/hour (min wage at the time) plus tips based on a tip system that I thought was pretty fair to the bussers. Ranks 8/10 just because bussing tables in and of itself isn't exactly the best job in the world.

Current job: 8/10. Great job, great pay, great benefits, both official and fringe. I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. My boss is like a mother to me. Cons to this job is the workload is never level-loaded, so I am sitting here on a Sunday morning working and will probably work about 70-80 hours this week, and even in the "Slow" times, I never stop working at the end of the day having fully completed my 'to do" list. Also, they are always "restructuring" and laying people off, so job security is always iffy. I've made it through 2 big layoffs that directly affected my department, but have no doubt my time will come sooner or later.

WORST JOBS:
Job I once had for 3 months: 0/10. Even in the interview, nobody mentioned that this office/computer position also included 2 days a week (every other week since they traded off) of being crammed in a TINY enclosed windowless room with 3 other women, 4 industrial printers, and two sealing machines, printing nearly 60,000 payroll checks that we would have to count BY HAND before putting them in order by department, banding together, and packing them into boxes to ship out to the 20-25 sites around the USA. The HEAT in that room was enough to make me gross and sweaty, but then having to move the heavy boxes, tape them up for shipping, and standing for 10-12 hours each day for 2 days counting envelopes and making sure the checks were printing correctly, adding more paper to the printers, working with burning hot, greasy sealing machines that ALWAYS broke or jammed up (and we were expected to fix them and keep on going), and them getting yelled at by the manager, who sat on her rear and left at 4:30pm every day while we were there until at least 8-9pm working, that we were stupid and needed to figure out how to make these machines work correctly, would make this job a 2/10 (just because I didn't have to clean bathrooms or anything gross like that lol). What makes it a 0/10 is that since I had access to payroll records, I was able to see that everyone in the department made more money than I did. Once I found that out, I put my notice in and found something else. NOT WORTH IT!!

Job I had for about 10 years off and on: 5/10. I had a love/hate relationship with this job. I hated it and quit THREE times, and kept going back lol . I almost always loved my co-workers, one of whom was my sister, and she met my now-BIL here when I was his boss lol, and I made other lifelong friends there. This job was my "coming of age" job...I started there right after I graduated high school, worked there through college, marriage, buying our first house, having our first child, selling our first house and building our second - so many great memories associated to those years makes me nostalgic lol What gives it a 5 is that the schedule was insane - Mall Hours - so I was always working evenings and weekends and holidays and never spent any time with DH or oldest DS when he came along, and the general manger was a psycho nightmarish crazy person - unpredictable and would snap one second, then want to be your BFF the next. I could never keep up with her moods. Plus, I kind of hated the actual work....I was a lab tech/lab manager(eventually) making eyeglasses for a mostly shopping malls-based optical chain. I was on my feet all day, my back always ached, it was dirty and there was exposure to somewhat hazardous chemicals, and I was always terrified the machines would break down on my watch lol I had NO IDEA how to fix them, nor did I want to learn how to!


Every other job I had was somewhere between all of these...some were more Meh than others, but I don't really have any reason to love or hate any of them.
