The people and the lack of benefits. Otherwise, not a bad place to work..

i'd LOVE an 8am job. we're here at 6:15 and leave at 4, sometimes later. but we get every other friday off, in addition to all the federal holidays.

the pay is horrible, no benefits, very rude managers that treat you like crap, and rude customers who think you got to kiss the ground they walk on. Yeah, I am presently looking for another job. Retail is a dead end job and I am trying to get out of it. But, it is not easy, there is not much out there right now.

the difficulty I'm having with my eyes. I suspect that by the time I retire, they will have a pretty good idea of why those of us that have wiorked on computers for the past 40 years are blind.

Ditto that. I need a new Rx for my glasses also, but the eye strain alone is killing me.

the mindlesses...I feel like a zombie... and I work with a few crazies that I really think might come to work with guns and shoot the place up.

but besides that I can't really complain...I have a job, pretty good benefits, pays pretty good....so it balances out.

It's just not what I want to be doing - I had to "fall back on my secretarial skills" unless I want to commute an hour each way for what I went to college for; with small kids at home that just isn't an option. My boss is (usually) great; she pays great for the area, I work 30 hours a week with vacation time and she contributes to whatever my retirement account is called. I just feel like I don't get to use my mind most days, and it is starting to drive me crazy.
