Automotive service manager. Best part is being the boss, worst part is I have to take care of customers who bitch and moan about everything

Worst job was working for Swisher. Swisher is a bathroom janitorial service for gas stations and restaurants - any business that has a public bathroom. Basically we went in, cleaned the bathroom from head to toe, and then coated it with special chemicals. We returned each week to quickly clean the bathroom, respray, and make it smell pretty. Totally sucked.

Best job was working for Playboy. You know you've arrived when your sucking in hundreds of thousands a year, your partying at the mansion, and your introduced to a model and she smiles and says "So your the one I have to sleep with to make it to the top". Good times.

I'm a freshman in college right now but I'm going into my family business of 59 years, the funeral business. The best part is trying to make the best of someone's worst moment in their life (or atleast as good as you can), and the worst part is seeing people suffer.

I work in a small independent shop that specializes in repairs, performance modifications and maintenance on Ford Power Stroke Diesels. It beats the hell out of working at the dealership. I love what I do and the place I'm at. I love that I am only around 3 people and 3 dogs all day instead of 30 pissed off techs at the dealer I worked at. The hours are long but my boss is a pretty cool dude who I get along with. The hours are long because our parking lot stays full and there are only two techs (me and boss man, hope it stays that way) It's "assholes and elbows" from the time I walk in till I go home.

Worst part of the job is when we work on some straight piece of shit of trucks!! People bring in trucks that are straight hack job pieces of shit that have been ran to hell and back. The motors are dirty and nasty and will make me look like a straight bum when I get off of it. But we usually turn it into a good laugh at what the hell some people do when they work on these trucks.

I was an Industrial Electrician for Ford Motor. Best part of the job was sitting in the balcony reading a book because the line was running fine. Worst part of the job was during a breakdown, when the bigshots, who never seemed to be around when things were running smoothly, suddenly appeared, all with the same question: How much longer?

They never seemed to learn that my answer was always the same: The longer you spend asking me stupid crap like that, the longer it's gonna take.:bored:

best part of my job is my actual job... I like working on these cars for the most part... Once in a while I'll get a real tough car to diagnose considering there is alot of modules on board.... That and the commute gets hectic...also I'm flat rate so my money is not really garanteed.

Best- Helping customer with their vehicles. I love the job, it pays good and finally work for a dealer that takes care of their staff.

Worst- The instability of work from time to time.
